3 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
1 tbsp hot paprika
2 tsp each ground black pepper, ground cumin and ground coriander
Good pinch of cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground allspice

Heat the oil in a roasting tin. In a small bowl, combine the spices, sugar and salt. Tumble the potatoes into the hot oil, then sprinkle over 1 tbsp of the spice mix (see tip). Roast for 40 minutes, turning regularly, until crisp.
