Potatoes Three Ways


Potato Turmeric Curry

Ingredients

  • 1 /4 of a medium onion ( chopped into small cubes)

  • 3 russet potatoes ( cut each potato into thirds and cut each third into four big cubes)

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1/2 cup milk or coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup oil

  • Optional:

    • A handful of Curry Leaves ( usually I make this optional but these make the flavor that much better, so if you are attempting this, you will need to do a deep dive for curry leaves)

    • 1 teaspoon Black Mustard seeds ​

Steps

  • Steam potatoes till partially cooked. Steaming unlike boiling prevents them from absorbing water and overcooking. You don't want a mushy potato in your curry.

  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or fry pan on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to the pan.

  • Add onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes till golden brown.

  • Add curry leaves, mustard seeds, salt, and turmeric, and sauté for an additional minute till fragrant.

  • Add potatoes and stir until evenly coated in the onion turmeric mixture.

  • Add milk to the pan and stir till everything is well incorporated for 5 minutes, take off the stove, and serve!.
