Baby Potato Roast
Each one of us has a favorite potato dish. Be it a curry or stir fry or an appetizer, we love potatoes in any way. You can try my appetizer Potato/ Onion bhaji or 5 ingredients Roasted Garlic Potato Wedges .
This baby potato roast is a simple, easy but delicious recipe. You need just a handful of ingredients from your pantry. This is the Indian style of roasting potatoes. You can have this as an appetizer or taste best as a side dish along with rice with Okra Curry, Pineapple Rasam or Kollu Rasam.
How to roast baby potato
I used medley baby potatoes to make this roast. So you can see purple and golden baby potatoes. Microwave potatoes or cook for 10 minutes in boiling water. Then marinate with spices for at least 10 minutes before roasting in a pan. You can add or avoid onions but I recommend adding it as the caramelized onions give a bit of sweetness to the dish.
