I boiled these potatoes until they were still crisp so that try wouldn't be mushy. We liked them but next time I might reduce the cumin. Served with a sprinkle of paprika for garnish. Thanks! Made for CQ '17

These tasted great, twissis! The only thing we didn't care for was the texture. The first step calls for boiling the potatoes first, then it's followed up with pan frying them, which I think the boiling made them a little too mushy for us. We did like the taste created from the combination of spices used in this recipe though, so I'd definitely make this recipe again and skip boiling the potatoes first and just jump to the step of frying cubed potatoes (unpeeled). Thanks for a great recipe, twissis.
