Masala Potato Appetizers Directions
- Boil the potatoes whole until tender. Remove from heat and drain. When cool enough to handle, slip the skins off the potatoes and cube or break into chunks. Set aside.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the mustard seed. After a minute or two, add the onion and sauté until softened, then add the ginger and green pepper and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in the turmeric and salt, then add the potatoes. Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet, stir well, and bring to a boil. Add the cliantro and lemon juice and remove from heat.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture on pita chips. Garnish with minced Serrano pepper and a dusting of garam masala. Serve immediately.
