Still on an Indian kick, I decided to experiment.  This is what I used:

• 2 tablespoons of ghee (butter or olive oil is fine)
• 4 medium sized golden potatoes cut into 1/4 inch coins
• 1 teaspon of cumin seeds
• 1 pinch of red pepper flake (more is fine)
• 1/4 cup of broth 
• 1 teaspoon garlic powdeer
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• salt to taste

1. Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat.  When the ghee is melted, toast the cumin seeds and the red pepper flake.
2. Add enough potatoes to cover the bottom of the skillet.  Do not pile the potatoes on top of each other.  Season with salt.
3. Stir the potatoes to coat in the ghee/seed/pepper flake mixture to coat and let cook for two-three minutes, until the potatoes begin to change color.
4. Add enough broth to come up half way on the potatoes.  Cover with a lid.  The potatoes are ready when they are fork tender.
5. Move to a serving dish and add the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic powder, pepper, and any additional salt.  Toss to ensure all potatoes are covered in the spice.

Try this dish.  I enjoyed the cinnamon and the potato combination far more than I had hoped.

Question:
So if you don’t mash ‘em or fry ‘em, what do you do with your potatoes?
