Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and paprika; set aside.
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil; swirl to coat wok, and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, red onion, and garlic, and continue to saute, stirring frequently until potatoes are golden, about 8 minutes more. Add the raisins, and stir to combine. Remove from heat; stir in the lemon juice and dill. Serve garnished with lemon zest and mint.

MOROCCAN SPICED ROAST POTATOES
These potatoes are my favourite kind- crispy, flavourful and delicious! The spice paste here is my Moroccan spice paste with added olive oil but I've copied it out here in full to make the recipe easier to use. Cooking time includes time for the spices to blend. Thanks to a review, here is a suggestion if using a convection oven- cook for 40 minutes total, the first 15 mins at 350F and thereafter turn it up to 400F.

Steps:
- Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.
- Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.
- Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavours to blend.
- After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).
- Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).
- Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).
- Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use a variety of potato that is suitable for roasting, such as Yukon Gold, russet, or red potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are cut too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be cooked through.
- Toss the potatoes in oil: This will help them to brown and crisp up.
- Season the potatoes generously: Use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to brown and crisp up. The ideal temperature for roasting potatoes is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Shake the potatoes occasionally: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Roast the potatoes until they are tender and browned: This may take 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes and the temperature of the oven.
