Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Add potatoes and cook without stirring for 4 minutes until the bottom edges turn golden, then toss and cook 6–8 minutes more until crispy and cooked through.
Step 3
Push potatoes to the side, add minced garlic and chili flakes to the empty space, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Toss everything together, then fold in cilantro and a big pinch of salt off heat.
Step 5
Squeeze half the lemon over the potatoes. Serve with lettuce leaves on the side and remaining lemon wedges.
