Description

Ingredients

• Baby potatoes - 500 gms
• Lime or Lemon juice - 2 tsp
• Cilantro / Coriader leaves - 1 tsp
• Oil - 2 tbsp
• Salt - 1 tsp or to taste
• Cumin powder - 1 tsp
• Oregano, dry - 1 tsp
• Garlic Powder - ½ tsp
• Fancy Paprika / Kashmiri Lal Mirch - 1 tsp
• Cayenne Pepper / Lal Mirch - ¼ tsp or to taste

Directions

• Mix all the ingredients as mentioned above. Toss well and set aside.
• You will not require all the seasoning. So keep it for more use.
• Parboil the baby potatoes till slightly tender. Do not boil them till they are mushy. This is how I parboiled the potatoes - boiled the water with some salt. Once the water was boiling, I added baby potatoes to it and let them cook in the hot water on medium heat, for about 8-10 minutes. Then I drained the potatoes and let them rest till they are cooled.
• Normally I boil the potatoes a day before and refrigerate them before using for a fabulous texture.
• Once cooled, do not peel them. Slice them into halves. Set aside.
• Once the potatoes are cooled, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a broad and heavy bottom frying pan or skillet.
• Once the oil is hot, add the cooled and halved baby potatoes to the hot oil.
• Cook and crisp them in the hot pan, on the medium high heat till they are crisp and golden.
• Stir the potatoes in between, few times for even crisping from all the sides. It takes about 10 minutes.
• Now switch off the flame. Add 2-3 tsp of Mexican seasoning to the hot crispy potatoes. Squeeze 2 tsp of Lime juice. Add some cilantro/coriander leaves. Toss well.
• Serve these hot with some sour cream and salsa on the side.
