   • Place the diced potatoes into a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the potatoes to simmer until they are tender when pierced with a fork, which should take about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and keep them warm. 🥔

2. Prepare the Flavor Base:

   • While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in another saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to let the garlic brown too much, as it can become bitter. 🧄🍯

3. Combine and Season:

   • Once the garlic is ready, add the cooked potatoes to the saucepan with the garlic butter. Sprinkle the chili powder over the potatoes and stir well to ensure that each piece is coated evenly with the spices. Cook the potatoes in the garlic butter mixture for a few minutes, allowing them to pick up a light golden-brown color and the rich flavors from the butter and spices.

4. Add Fresh Cilantro:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the chopped fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a final gentle stir to combine all the ingredients.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the cilantro-chili potatoes to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy the burst of flavors from this easy-to-make side dish. 🌟
