Add potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, abotu 15 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon of canola oil, red onion, and garlic; continue to saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes are golden, about 8 minutes more. Add raisins and stir to combine. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and dill. Serve garnished with lemon zest and mint.
