Recipe: Potatoes with cumin
Chop 2 potatoes into pieces approx 3/4 inch in each direction.
Boil or microwave until softish.
Heat 6+ tablespoons peanut oil in a wok until near smoking. Add 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds and let sit for 10 seconds. Then add softish potatoes, 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 2 tablespoons(!!) salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and a little bit of black pepper to the oil. Stir and cover quickly. Add 2 tablespoons grated ginger. Fry for ten minutes or so, manhandling the potatoes so their edges get kind of mashed.
