Men can cook- the no nonsense potato roast

Four ingredients- Potatoes, salt, chilli powder, turmeric (ginger garlic paste if you are feeling fancy) Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces and cook them in hot water till they are cooked. When you poke a knife/ fork through the potato pieces, it should go through without much resistance. A non-stick pan (don’t use a non non-stick pan, just don’t) on high flame, add more oil than necessary and wait for it to heat up. Then, throw in the cooked potatoes, gently stir till the sizzle reduces. Add an appropriate amount of salt, chilli powder and turmeric. Mix till the powders are coated well on the potatoes. Let the potatoes sit for a few seconds and stir again. You can put the heat on medium high if you’ve got slow hands. When stirring, make sure to fold the potatoes- slide in the spatula from the side and turn the potatoes over. Go around the pan, repeating. Soon you’ll see a nice crisp crust form on the surface of the taters. Keep mixing till the oil is all soaked up
