Who doesn't like potatoes! Both kids and adults equally like this vegetable. In Indian cooking potatoes are used in main-course, side-dish, curries and gravies. It is such a versatile vegetable.
Today I'm sharing a quick and simple potato roast recipe. This recipe is made in Indian style with simple ingredients which are easily available at home. It is quick and easy to prepare. Boiled potatoes are roasted in Indian spices till a crispy and crunchy layer is formed.
This recipe is sightly spicy, so you can reduce the spices as per your preference. Serve it with steaming hot rice along with sambar, dal, rasam and curd.
