Potatoes.... Potatoes.....Potatoes!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say about them??? My brother would have only potatoes with his every meal when he was a kid, my husbands favourite food is varan (indian dal)-bhaat and batata bhaji, during my so-called dieting phase (its is long long story) I would put an entire bunch of french fries in my mouth, chew them and spit it out. So much for our much loved potatoes. This recipe is from my mother who would make it in a jiffy...... Though there are not many ingredients the technique of cooking the potatoes makes it interesting

Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 mediem size potatoes cut whole into thin rounds
1 tsp vegetable oil
a pinch of chilli powder or paprika
salt

Method:
Soak the potato rounds in cold water for 15-20 mins. Drain well. In a non-stick pan with a lid or kadai, place them in two layers and cover with the lid. Place on top of the stove and set the heat to medium. Let the potatoes sweat. It will take around 8-10 mins. Now drizzle some oil over it and sprinkle the paprika and salt on top. Put on the lid. Let it cook for another 7-8 mins until crispy. Done!
