1 garlic clove finely chopped
1/2 tsp mild chilli powder
1/2 tsp paprika

Boil the potato cubes for 5 mins. While they cook, warm the olive oil in a frying pan and gently cook the chopped onion for 8 mins. Stir in the garlic and all the spices, then fry for another 2 mins.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan with the onion mixture. Increase the heat and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly. Continue cooking for 10 mins until the potatoes are tender. Serve with soured cream and a light dusting of cayenne pepper.
