Potato fry recipe is a veg stir fry recipe and a common side dish in every indian household made with diced or sliced aloo.
Other aloo recipes that should be tried are potato kurma, aloo jeera, aloo sabzi, aloo palak, potato curry , pav bhaji.
The aloo fry is a quick and easy stir fried vegetable that goes perfectly well with roti or parathas.
Here, I have used quite a few ingredients to make this everyday indian aloo roast which is a favorite among the kids and goes perfectly as an accompaniment with rice and khatti dal, palak dal, pappu charu, masoor dal, mango dal.
Also try other veg stir fry vegetables such as karela fry or bitter gourd fry, carrot fry, vankaya fry or baingan fry, bendakaya fry, cauliflower fry.
To make potato fry recipe as is mentioned in this recipe, the potatoes should be thinly sliced inorder to get the best taste and make the aloo cook well and soft.
How to choose potatoes:
Always use small sized potatoes as big potatoes taste a lot sweeter and are not suitable to make stir fry recipes.
If there is lot of starch in the potatoes and taste a bit sweet then add some salt and lemon drops in water after cutting and placing the potato slices in water. Allow them to sit in water for 15 to 20 minutes before frying.
Strain the potatoes well before frying to get crispy stir fried potatoes.
Potato fry goes really with dal and rice too and it is a simple recipe with some basic tempering given in the beginning. Different regions give different tempering and yet the taste turns out awesome….
Potato is one such vegetable which can be made into various forms be it as fried, baking or curry or gravy or it also works as a great combination to many vegetables like beans, brinjal, spinach and also to non vegetarian dishes like meat or sometimes in egg curries too.
