Masale Aaloo (Spice Potatoes)

Directions

1. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature.
2. Once the potatoes have cooled, peel and cut into bite-sized cubes. Place into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with ground cumin, coriander, amchoor, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the whole cumin seeds, and cook until they begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes have heated through.

"I added more oil (olive) and salt, but that is just personal preference. This is a really good recipe. They definitely taste like authentic Indian potatoes!..." See more"

"Loved this recipe. Followed it as is, and it turned out great. I loved that the potatoes were not too oily, and the spice coating, fried on the potatoes had such great flavor- especially the cumin! ..." See moreWill definitely keep this recipe on hand to make when I cook Indian food!"
