Ingredients
2 cups small potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup lime wedges
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly, ensuring they become crisp and golden.
2.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
3.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet making sure they are in a single layer, which will help them cook uniformly.
4.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
5.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
6.
Top the roasted potatoes with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro for a fresh and flavorful finish.
7.
Serve the potatoes warm with lime wedges on the side, allowing each person to squeeze lime over their serving as desired.
