- 3 Large potatoes, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- ½ cup Peanuts, roasted
- 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves, chopped

Boil the Potatoes
Peel the skin of the potatoes, cut them into cubes and cook in your most preferred way (stovetop, pressure cooker, instant pot, or microwave).
3 Large potatoes, cut into cubes
See that you do not overcook or make it mushy.
I generally sprinkle water and microwave for 4 minutes.
Making of Vrat Ke Aloo or Best Pan Roasted Potato Fry
Heat oil in a pan. To this, add cumin seeds and saute for a few seconds.
1 tablespoon Oil, 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
Add peanuts and continue to saute for another 2 minutes. Next, add green chilies and saute for one more minute.
½ cup Peanuts, roasted
Add the cooked or boiled potatoes, salt to taste, lemon juice, and coriander leaves. Mix well.
2 tablespoon Coriander leaves, chopped, Salt or Sendha Namak, to taste, Juice of 1 lemon
Now spread the potatoes evenly in the pan. Check out the video on making of potato fry here. Cook on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until potatoes become crispy as desired. Making this way will create a crispy layer on the outside with a creamy melt-in-mouth texture inside.
Serve hot and enjoy.
