• While the oil heats, cut the potatoes into cubes.
• Fry the potatoes until golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the garlic and 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt with a mortar and pestle until a paste forms. Stem and roughly chop the chiles and add them to the mortar; continue mashing. Add the lemon juice, cilantro, and olive oil and mix well. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary.
• Remove the potatoes to a heatproof mixing bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika, chopped chiles and cilantro.
