Garlic Potato Stir Fry | Potato Masala | Potato side recipes

A simple and quick veg side would be potatoes  Its such a versatile ingredient and is super filling too. In Indian cooking potatoes are used in mains, sides, curries and snacks along with both vegeterain and non-vegeterain cooking. I have seen both kids and adults enjoy them equally. My favorite recipes of potato are potato masala (poori), masala potato, potato tikki, aloo paratha and potato kurma. Today I am sharing a simple and quick version of Garlic potato stir fry which is packed with flavor and is great as a side with rice & curry. The flavors of garlic lifts the dish well and combined with spicy soft potato chunks makes it a wholesome platter.
