Description

Crispy-skinned potatoes with creamy centers,
bursting with warming Indian spices.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (454 g) Fingerling or any small potatoes
  • 2 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • Salt
  • 3 tbsp Oil

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes to a pot and cover them with water.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked.
  3. Once cool to the touch, smash the potatoes with a fork or your hands.
  4. In a skillet, heat oil and add cumin. Once the cumin crackles, add the potatoes.
  5. Sprinkle with turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix and let the potatoes develop a golden color on one side before flipping them to develop color on the other side.
  6. Once all sides are golden, the potatoes are ready.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for a shorter time, leaving them slightly firm in the center.
  • To enhance the flavor, roast the cumin seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the oil.
  • Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; they reheat well in a skillet or microwave.
