Begin by scrubbing, peeling, and cutting your potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the potato cubes in a single layer. Fry for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until golden brown.

While the potatoes are frying, whisk together salt, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl.

Once crispy, add the spice blend and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir together and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Remove from heat and drizzle lime juice over the potatoes. Stir gently to coat.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
