      These potatoes sound good.

      I have achiote powder, not seeds. Can I make the oil with that or do I need the seeds?

      My mom's Puerto Rican and she makes something similar, but she uses olive oil, sweet onion, garlic, cumin, achiote, ground cilantro seed, turmeric, saffron, and sweet paprika.
