    Crispy Baked Curry Potato

    crispy Baked curry potato

    Sometimes I fail at cooking the most basic ingredients! Potatoes and eggs are at the top of my list! I don't know if its because I'm so picky with perfecting them or I'm just a mess with them. But it's taking a lot of trial and lost of errors to get them right. That's why I'm so excited about sharing these crispy baked curry potato dish with you!

    No matter what method I use to prep potatoes, they never have the texture I want. When I bake them, they're soft or burnt. When I boil them, they get crumbly or gluey. When I dice them up and try to saute them, they take forever to cook. Its like I'm at war with the starch!

    But that's actually it. The potato starch! I think the key to cooking potatoes (for me at least) is to remove as much of the starch as possible before cooking. So peel and cut the potatoes and then soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

    For baking crispy potatoes, the key is to dry the potatoes after the soak and then coating them with oil, and a seasoned cornstarch mixture. Corn starch helps to crisp up the potato cubes. Since these are cut into small cubes, they will cook up pretty quickly. And the corn starch will help to get the exterior of the cubes super crispy while the inside stays perfectly cooked.

    Baking Tip: Spread out the potato cubes on the baking sheet to ensure each cube is getting heat from all sides!

    Simple Curry Seasoning Mix

    • Curry Powder
    • Turmeric
    • Red Chili Powder
    • Garlic Powder

    Potatoes are delicious with just a sprinkle of salt. But it also tastes amazing with any variety of seasoning. I played around with some curry seasoning and thought this was super versatile as an Indian side dish. We have enjoyed them as a side dish, mixed into rice and as a filling for veggie kati rolls (burritos).

    Finishing Touch - Drizzle of Seasoned Oil

    This last part is what really takes the crispy baked curry potato dish to the next level. Its super quick and easy and so worth it!

    Just heat up a little oil and season the oil with cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves. The additional flavors in the oil really bring out the seasoning mix.

    This is the perfect side to Indian fried rice, Chaat-cuterie Board, Crispy Oven Baked Curry Masala Wings.
