This week, I have chosen the regional side dishes as the theme, and also wanted to star potato in all the recipes. So you will see three delicious potato preparations this week. Today’s recipe is a really simple side dish you can have with any type of rice variety. These spicy potatoes are full of garlic flavour and they are absolutely yum. If you are planning on a simple meal, do include this to jazz it up. You can either pressure cook or MW the potatoes before roasting. I some times allow raw potatoes to cook in the spice mix, but it takes some time. And if you don’t mind the skin, you can add it with the skin for roasting.
This time, I MW ed the potatoes for 5 minutes on high, peeled them and used it in the recipe. I made it as part of my Tamil Nadu Biryani meal I made for the April Mega Blogging Marathon Biryani and Pulao Festival. But I didn’t post this thali in the series. Still I couldn’t leave that delicious potato roast, so am posting it today for the regional side dishes. My daughter loved the potatoes so much and she has asked me to do this every time I make potatoes. I usually don’t add garlic in potatoes when I serve it for Sruti, but this time I felt she needed a change, so added some grated garlic and the result was amazing. But if you don’t like garlic, you can either skip using it or reduce the quantity for a milder flavour.

Simple, yet flavorful roast. Tamil Nadu meal looks good and maybe you can use this meal next year mega BM 🙂
If I am cooking for one or two people, I have also started using microwave for potatoes. I make it very similar but without the garlic. It’s never clicked me that I could add it in as well. That’s a great thali and I am looking forward to the rest of the recipes too!
Potato is a universal favorite and adding garlic to it takes it to the next level. Such a delicious pick for side dishes. Looking forward to your other potato dishes
Such a simple dish but adds so much to all the flavors of a thali. The pictures are amazing.
I always MW potatoes before frying them. It definitely brings down the cooking time. The spread looks very tempting. My kids will definitely love the garlic version.
I love garlic in potato roast, makes it so flavoursome and tasty. A wonderful display of dishes.
I like your simple potato roast Gayathri. I don’t add garlic too, but would love to try this version for my family. Looks very tempting.
Love the garlic potato roast. I too make in similar way. Pairs well with anything.
I don’t add garlic to my potato curries but this pepper – garam masala combo addition is new to me. I am sure this variation of potato curry tastes awesome.
