INDIAN CUMIN POTATOES ( JEERA ALOO )
A nice Indian-style twist on potatoes. The fried whole cumin seeds have a unique slightly nutty flavor. A good way to use up leftover boiled potatoes. Eat with fried meat or rolled in a wheat tortilla with some chopped tomato and salad and a sprinkle of lemon juice for a vegetarian meal. Serve either hot, warm or cold. - I got the recipe from Julie Sahni's "Introduction to Indian Cooking".

Steps:
- Wash, peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 dice or wedges, or leave skin on if you prefer.
- Bring potatoes to a boil in water and 1/2 t salt. Cover and let boil for 5-8 minutes until just cooked.
- Drain and let steam off moisture until they have a sort of dry outer skin, 10-15 minutes, or let cool completely and keep in the fridge up to 2 days. Make sure they are dry before frying.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add cumin seeds and fry 30-60 seconds until they turn a shade darker and give off smell.
- Add potatoes and sprinkle with turmeric. Shake pan and fry potatoes about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden and crisp. The trick is not to stir too frequently, so that a crust can develop.
- Sprinkle with coriander or parsley and taste with salt. Shake pan to mix and serve. You can drain potatoes on paper towels first, before adding the fresh herbs if you like.
- NOTE: The recipe can be done with other starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or plantains, but I never tried those.

Steps:
- Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
- When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
- If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
- Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
- Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
- Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

POTATOES WITH CUMIN AND MUSTARD SEEDS
We eat these potatoes with our eggs on Sundays, with our Indian meals, and also with our more Western roasts and grills. They are versatile and good.
Yield serves 3¿4

Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into 1/2" × 1/3" dice.
- Pour the oil into a frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the cumin and mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the ginger. Stir twice and add the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt, red pepper, and black pepper over the top. Now stir and fry for 4-5 minutes. The potatoes should get lightly browned, and all the spices should be well mixed. Taste for salt.
- Cut a 1-inch knob off a piece of fresh ginger and peel it. Now cut that chunk crossways into the thinnest slices you can manage. Stack 6-7 slices together and cut them crossways into the thinnest slivers possible. Cut all the slices this way. If you need more slivers, start with another knob of ginger.
