There are 100s of things to do with Potatoes apart from the usual fries. esp in Indian cuisine. Toss them with any regional spices, cook in pan, bake, boil, mash..add them to curries, puree them to make curries, stuff in flat breads, mix them in chickpea batter and fry and more. Potato is one thing we cannot live without. This easy side can work with anything Indian or not.
