How to Make Bengali Style Oven Fried Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease two oven racks with cooking spray. Alternatively, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash 1 lb (450g) of potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick sticks, or crosswise into 1/3-inch thick rounds (or a mix!).
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder (adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared oven racks or baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding.
Place the racks in the center of the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
