Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Kosher salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce toa low boil and cook until just tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely, 2 to 4 hours. Peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron or nonstick) over medium until shimmering. Add cumin, mustard, and sesame seeds; as soon as they begin to pop -- a matter of seconds -- add potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
  • Add 2 teaspoons salt, cayenne, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown in spots and heated through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 days.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were still tasty, but I was disappointed.

I would give this recipe 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that it was a bit too oily for my taste. Next time, I'll use less oil.

I thought the sesame seeds would overpower the potatoes, but they didn't. The flavors were perfectly balanced.
