Bombay Breakfast Potatoes image

By boiling our potatoes in Indian spices before we fry them, we can easily turn your basic old home fries into something extraordinary. This is also a great review for how to get perfect, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside breakfast potatoes. Even if you don't plan on using the Indian-inspired spices, you'll want to pay attention to the cook-first, fry-later approach. Top potatoes with a poached egg, if you like.

Time 9h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large russet potatoes, peeled
salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup diced hot chile peppers
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne together in a small bowl for spice mix; mix well.
  • Cut russet potatoes in half, then into quarters, eighths, and sixteenths.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and 2/3 of the spice mixture and continue to boil until just tender and fairly easily pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Wrap potatoes in plastic and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove potatoes from the refrigerator and cut in half once more.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add potatoes and season with salt. Cook until crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss with a spatula and continue to cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with remaining spice mixture, green onions, and chile peppers. Cook until onions and peppers just start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer potatoes to a plate and top with cilantro.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like mush.

These potatoes were a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I added some chopped bell pepper and zucchini, and it turned out really well.

These potatoes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder next time.
