For a richer flavor, consider using ghee instead of olive oil. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. If you prefer a milder dish, start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste. Feel free to experiment with other spices such as turmeric, coriander, or garam masala to customize the flavor profile. These potatoes are also delicious served with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Ensure the potatoes are uniformly cubed to promote even cooking.
