Potato is the common vegetable which is consumed by people in almost every part of the world I guess. This special vegetable can be cooked and served in n number of ways . Potato goes well with many other vegetables and few types of lentils. I prepare this simple potato fry along with Rasam most of the time. If you have not read my earlier post (another simpler version of potato fry) Please check out Quick and Easy "Pan Fried Potatoes" too!!
Serve this dish along with Hot Rice and Rasam. Potato fry with "Paprupu Sadam" is also a good combo.
