Stir Fried Potatoes

Stir fried potatoes are easy to make, potatoes are cooked in microwave and then stir fried in pan on low flame. They are crispy and mildly spiced and pairs well with sambar rice , curd rice or flavoured rice. I use this potatoes to stuff inside dosa or sandwich also. This is my family's most favourite potato preparation. You just need to leave them in the pan on low flame and they will be done. No Onion, No Tomato !
