When in doubt, cook potatoes! Every time, I am confused as to what to cook or want a simple accompaniment for a typical Indian meal, I always end up using potatoes. These tubers are so versatile and there are a million ways that you could cook it.

The same can be said for this spicy lebanese potato dish. I could use the same seasoning and make some amazing wedges or make it as the perfect accompaniment to the very humble thayir sadam (curd rice)!

    Love using potatoes as my starch, but I always go for sweet potatoes. I love the sweet/salty (or spicy!) contrast and they are PACKED with nutrients.
