Hot and Spicy from the Indian Kitchen!
This is one of the first few easy recipes I tried during my childhood. Brings back a lot of good memories. I remember trying out this really yummy and absolutely delicious spicy potato recipe carefully with my sister because we did not want to mess up and be the butt of family jokes. Thankfully everything went according to plan and we were able to surprise our parents with this easily made snack during tea time.
I am of Indian origin where people like hot and spicy recipes. This isn't exactly hot but I have heard some of my European friends finding it hot "enough". But then there were some others who actually enjoyed the dish! Hope you do as well..
In this page I am going to jot down the recipe of my favorite Indian snack - Spicy Potato Bites.

For that right taste
Instructions
1. Boil the potatoes in their jacket, cool thoroughly, peel and dice them into 1 inch cubes.2. In a wide shallow pan, preferably non-stick, heat the oil over medium heat. It is important to have the right pan otherwise the potatoes will stick.
3. Add the potatoes and spread them evenly through the pan.
4. Brown the potatoes evenly, stirring them occasionally.
5. When the potatoes are brown, sprinkle over the salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander and the chilli powder. Stir gently and mix until the potatoes are fully coated with the spices. Remove from the heat.
Time : Preparation takes 30 minutes to boil potatoes plus time to cool them. Cooking takes 10-12 minutes.
Serving Ideas
I prefer to have my spicy potato bites especially during a cold, rainy day with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
Another alternative would be to serve them at parties on cocktail sticks along with drinks.
Watchpoint
What You Should Be Careful About
The potatoes must be allowed to cool thoroughly.
Hot or warm potatoes crumble easily and therefore cannot be cut into neat pieces.

"Great CD! We only own a few Wiggle CDs because my daughter is 2 yrs old and just getting into them. This CD is a great collection of their popular songs, especially from when Greg was with the group. Instead of buying multiple older CDs to hear her favorite songs (Move your Arms Like Henry, Captain Feathersword Feel asleep..., Do the Owl) they are mostly on this CD." - Mack

"When I tried out a recipe...I noticed that the directions were easy to follow and were accurate (in my experience, Indian cookbooks are not accurate about all the ingredients necessary or the amounts or even the preparation times)! To my surprise, my dishes turned out just as the book described (unlike the results I got from some of those other cookbooks in my pantry). This book has given me confidence that I can actually cook Indian food...successfully." - Anjali
