Making Best Seasoned Fried Potatoes & Onions

We do not deep fry the baby potatoes rather we stir fry the potatoes along with lightly fried onions and tomatoes along with spices, which makes it so so yummy!

Deep fried potatoes are different since they are mostly coated with batter to fry in the oil.

This pan fried baby potatoes recipe is inspired by South Indian style cooking as we use the South Indian spices to make the dish.

These are very well seasoned and quite spicy if you like spicy food. However, you may reduce the spiciness if you don’t want it spicy.

Feel free to adjust the spices according to your preference!

As I mentioned above, I used creamer potatoes to make this dish.

Creamer potatoes are very yummy when used in recipes whether you roast them in the oven or you make pan fried potatoes on stove top!

You may use other kinds of small baby potatoes in this recipe like small baby red potatoes or small yellow potatoes instead.

You may also regular sized red potatoes or yellow potatoes if you do not have baby potatoes, but just make sure to dice them in cubes accordingly so it won’t affect the cooking time or method.

I used the skin of the potatoes for the recipe as the skin is healthy and yummy.

However you can peel the skin of the potatoes if you wish, or just include them in the recipe as I have used here. 

I have a few tips if you are using the skin of the potatoes though.

If you are using fresh potatoes, the skin of the potatoes usually is fine and taste good.

If the color of the potato skin is changing by turning lightly green (with red potatoes it will be little difficult to identify the change in color of the skin) it would be best to peel off the skin as the green indicates oxidization and it may not be good to eat.

Also there is a chance the potato skin can cause bitterness if not using fresh potatoes.

If you are not sure you can peel off the skin and follow this pan fried baby potatoes recipe or you can use the following tips if you are using the skin of the potatoes:

The tips are as follows:

If you are using the peels, make sure the skin is not turning green or if its turning green, peel off that part of the skin.

Also peel off any growth on the potatoes.

Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl with water and mix in some salt. Let the potatoes sit in the salt water for about half an hour. After letting the potatoes soak in the salt water for half an hour, rinse off the potatoes in fresh water.

All the above tips will help you with getting rid of the bitterness which can be caused by using the skin of the ‘not so fresh’ potatoes in the recipe.
