Gather @potato{800%g}, @fresh cilantro{1%bunch} and @chili flake{1%tsp}.

Cut the potatoes into 1.5cm cubes and pat them very dry with a towel.

Heat the @olive oil{60%ml} in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in as close to a single layer as the pan allows.

Fry, turning every few minutes, until deeply golden and crisp on most sides and tender all the way through, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Season with the @salt{1%tsp} partway through so it flavors the potatoes as they cook, not just the surface.

Add the @garlic{5%clove} and chili flakes to the pan and toss for 1 minute until fragrant — no longer, or the garlic will burn. ~{1%minutes}

Off the heat, squeeze over the @lemon{1} juice and toss through most of the cilantro. Pile onto a plate, scatter with the rest of the cilantro, and serve hot.
