3. Cook for about thirty minutes until potatoes are soft.

4. Garnish with parsley or any other aromatic herbs that you like.

 

Note: don’t  skip the lemon juice, it really gets the best out of this dish. You will understand better after the fist bite. Lemon’s slightly sourish taste works wonders together with the cayenne pepper’s aroma.

Recommendation: learn more on lemons and their benefits from my last feature inspired by my lovely lemon tree.
