Peel the skin of the potatoes and wash it nicely. You can wash it nicely and make the curry with the skin too.

Chop this into small cubes and put inside water.

Till you start making the curry, let this get immersed in water. Else the color will change.

Before making, drain the water completely.

In a pan add oil and add the mustard seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida.

Once the mustard seeds splutter, add the chopped potato.

Add sambar powder, salt and turmeric powder to this.

Mix well.

Let this cook in a medium flame for 15 minutes.

Stir this in between. Do not add any water while cooking.

Let this get roasted well.

In the last drizzle 1 tsp of coconut oil. This is truly optional but enhances the taste of the potato roast.

Switch off.

Serve with any rice of your choice.

We all love this with curd rice, sambar rice and rasam rice too.

Also this goes perfect with coconut rice or lemon rice too.
