On Christmas tried a baked variation of my mother's stovetop potato recipe with regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. This with the dhokla provided a warm cozy breakfast though we had a very warm Christmas day this year, humid and a temperature of 75 F.
Ingredients:
Regular baking potatoes - 2 (medium size)
Sweet potatoes - 1 (medium size)
Salt. - as needed
Turmeric powder. - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder. - 1/2 tsp
Garlic powder. - 1/4 tsp
Fresh ginger (chopped) - 1 tsp
Asoefatida. - a small pinch
Black pepper. - 1 tsp
Lime - 1/2
Oil of choice. - 2-3 tsps
Chop the potatoes to small cubes. Preheat oven to 375 F. Marinate the sweet potatoes and potatoes separately with spices and oil for about 15-20 minutes.
Do not add the lime juice. Bake the potatoes in an oven safe dish for 20-30 minutes or until well done. Squeeze lime over the potatoes once they cool a little ( about 5-10 minutes after removing from oven).
Serve with dhokla, dosa, rice,chapathi on the side. It can used with cheese or egg for as a filling for a sandwich.
Tips:
1. You can use your choice of spices.
2. Can be done on stove top also if you do not have the option of baking.
3. Bake it longer if you need it crispier.
4. You can marinate for longer for a stronger flavour.
