This is one of the easiest potato fry recipe. When I got married and started to learn cooking Potato fry was one of the few recipes that I’ve mastered. I’ve learned this recipe from my husband. He used to make this all the time when he was a bachelor as it is something very quick to make as well as tasty. Also it goes as a great side for plenty of dishes like sambhar rice, Porichakuzhambhu rice.

Ingredients :

Potatoes : 2 (medium)
OIl: 1/4 cup
Chili powder : 4 tbsp ( According to your spice level)
Mustard seeds : 2 tsp
Urad dal : 2 tsp
Curry leaves : 5 to 6
Salt : required to taste
Turmeric powder : 1/4 tsp

Method of Preparation :

Cut the potatoes in Â half and pressure cook them for 2 whistles or if you don’t have a pressure cooker you can just boil them. Make sure its not mashed.
After that peel the skin and cut into cube sized pieces.
