Add chickpeas, raisins, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, pepper, salt and cayenne (optional). Stir until fragrant about 2 minutes. Add veggies and spices to the potatoes, along with lemon juice, parsley and remaining olive oil. Stir until combined, breaking up the potatoes slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm or cold.
