- Add the potatoes, cauliflower, and green chili pepper. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low-medium, cover, and let cook for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice in between.*

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before frying to help them crisp up.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven to fry the potatoes, as this will help them cook evenly.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes, as this will help them fry quickly and evenly.
- Fry the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause them to steam instead of fry.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the potatoes hot as a side dish or snack.
Conclusion:
Pakistani spiced potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them mild or spicy, these potatoes are sure to please everyone at your table.
