Place the chopped potatoes in a microwave-safe container, add 1/4 cup water, cover, and microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes. Toss the potatoes around in the skillet until evenly covered in the olive oil, then cover the dish and cook for 4 minutes. Toss/ flip the potatoes, cover again, and allow to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the cover, turn off the heat, then add the lemon juice and spices. Stir for a few seconds until ingredients are equally distributed, then serve.
