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.
