Make authentic White Potato Fry with this foolproof recipe. Packed with rich traditional flavor, step-by-step photos, and cooking tips by Denisiya on EatMee Recipes.

White Potato Fry is a softly prepared potato dish spiced with impactful seasonings & embellished with herbs & spices. This adaptable dish can be prepared for those fasting days & is an ideal meal for those veggie lovers.
Unlike the usual potato curry, this White Potato Fry is white in colour as the name states.
Firstly you will need to peel & rinse the potatoes.

Next, slice the potatoes so that they resemble an ovular shape.

Slice the potatoes by about an inch in thickness.

Thereafter, peel & sliver onions.

Rinse & chop green chillies.

Heat up the vegetable oil in a medium sized pot. When the oil is hot enough, drop in the onions, garlic clove, green chillies, thyme, red chilli flakes, jeera (cumin) seeds & fennel (soomph) seeds.

Mix well & allow to simmer until the onions are translucent.

Thereafter, drop in the sliced potatoes.

Mix well, coating the potatoes in all of the spices. Cover with the pot lid.

Add a little water if necessary, this will prevent the potatoes sticking to the surface of the pot.
When the potatoes are almost soft, season with salt as per taste & add in the rosemary & dried mixed herbs.

Gently combine & allow for the potatoes to cook throughout.

When the potatoes are all soft, remove from the heat. I like to garnish my White Potato Fry with a little of red chilli flakes to give it some pop in colour.

This dish can be refrigerated for up to a week.

White Potato Fry can be served as is with bread, rice, roti or naan & also goes well as a side dish for other meals including yellow split pea dhall.
