Wash the potatoes with a good rinse of cold water in a colander. This will eliminate any grit from dirt and sand. Depending on the size of the potatoes, slice them in half with a knife and a cutting board. Leave them whole if they are on the tiny side. Otherwise, the potatoes may dry out.
In a large bowl, add the potatoes and both kinds of oil. Coat the potatoes in oil.
Next, add the spices. The oil will help the spices to stick to the potatoes. Next, choose your cooking method.

Storing Leftovers
