Give the potatoes space on the tray: crowding traps steam. The lime goes on at the end, so its bright flavour survives. This is an original recipe written for the sample.

What you’ll need

  • 500g small potatoes
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • Juice of half a lime
  • A handful of coriander
  • Salt to taste

At the stove

  1. Heat the oven to 210°C (190°C fan). Cut the potatoes into even pieces.
  2. Toss with oil, cumin, turmeric and salt. Spread on a tray in one layer.
  3. Roast for 35–45 minutes, turning once, until tender and crisp.
  4. Finish with lime and coriander; serve while hot.
