Indian Potatoes Recipes

INDIAN POTATOES

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN to 425F/218C. Line a pan with parchment or foil. If using foil, spray with oil.
• BOIL POTATOES: Place potatoes in medium pot. Add enough cold water to just cover potatoes. Add a couple of teaspoons salt. Bring to boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer, partially covered for 6-10 minutes (depending on size of potatoes) until tender but not mushy). Drain potatoes, place back on stove and shake over heat to dry them out and 'rough them up' for 1 minute.
• MAKE SEASONING MIXTURE: Mix together all seasoning ingredients in small bowl. Add to potatoes in pot and stir gently to coat potatoes evenly.
• ROAST POTATOES: Spread seasoned potatoes onto lined pan in a single layer. Drizzle on a little extra olive oil if you like. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning half way through.
• GARNISH AND SERVE: Squeeze half a lime or more over potatoes and sprinkle with coriander. Transfer to large bowl or serving dish and serve immediately. These potatoes are great at room temperature too!

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander and paprika and sauté 1 minute. Mix in potatoes, then broth. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, stirring gently, about 8 minutes more. Season generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle lemon juice over. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.

INDIAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Melt butter in a wide nonstick frying pan or wok over medium high heat. Add potatoes, bell pepper, onion, cumin, coriander, hot chile oil and 3 tablespoons water. Stir-fry gently until potatoes are tinged with brown and tender when pierced (about 15 minutes); do not scorch. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan appears dry.
• Remove pan from heat. Sprinkle potato mixture with chopped cilantro and mix gently. Spoon into a serving bowl, top with sour cream, and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Add salt to taste.

SPICY INDIAN POTATOES

Steps:

• 1) Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes.
• 2) Heat oil in pan.
• 3) Add cumin seeds, onion seeds, mustard seeds and asafoetida powder to pan and shake around until seeds start to crackle.
• 4) Add potatoes, turmeric powder, salt and green chilis. Mix well.
• 5) Lower heat to simmer and cover pan for about 18-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. You may want to add a splash of water at this step if it's too dry for the potatoes to get cooked well.
• 6) Increase heat to high and stir. I let the potatoes brown a bit but you can skip this step.
• 7) Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
