- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.

- Coat the potatoes: Toss the potatoes in the seasoning mixture well, making sure each cube is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange for baking: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow crisp edges and prevent steaming.
