Fried Baby Potatoes are spicy and tangy baby potatoes with the crunchy exterior and soft interior. In this particular recipe, I have neither peeled nor boiled the baby potatoes. I have fried them in sufficient oil so that they get cooked and the skin gets really crunchy.
Baby potatoes are available in the market these days and I get home one pack every time I go vegetable shopping because they look so cute and needless to mention that potatoes are everyone’s favorite. I use baby potatoes to try different dum aalo recipes, starter recipes etc. The only annoying part about baby potatoes is peeling them. That is tiring and time-consuming. And in this recipe, I have not peeled the baby potatoes. I have washed them properly and fried with spices. Make sure you select baby potatoes with thin skin.
Potato lovers should try healthy veggie shots, aalu tuk, aalu tikki etc.
