Place them in a bowl and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil. Add a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then add a delicious spice from the Mediterranean called kiba spice. It is made up of garlic, cumin, and parsley. It is very flavorful and it will add some crust and crunchiness to your potatoes.
