Method
- 1
Boil and cube the potatoes
Boil the potatoes until just tender, then cool slightly and cut into cubes.
- 2
Temper the mustard seed
Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seed, frying until it crackles.
- 3
Add the potatoes and spices
Tip in the potato cubes, cumin powder and turmeric, tossing gently to coat every piece.
- 4
Sauté until lightly crisp
Cook over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes pick up light golden edges.
- 5
Finish
Season with salt, scatter over coriander leaves, and serve hot as a side.
Nitra tip
Handle the potatoes gently once cubed — too much stirring breaks them up before they get the chance to crisp.
