Stir- Fried Purple Potatoes

The purple potatoes are naturally colorful looking alternative to the otherwise boring yellow ones and I hear they have higher potassium and  4 times more antioxidants than Russet potatoes. 

I don't mean to sell that  idea to u :) but they look simply pretty when served with meat. For the punch and contrast flavor go for pickled onion too. Use other pickled veggies if u are planning to cook for a date night for obvious reasons:)

Ingredients:

Baby purple potato - 1 lb

Garlic- 6 -8 flakes

Red chili flakes- 1/2 tsp or more

Fresh Italian parsley - few strands

Fresh rosemary - 1 sprig

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Steam it until 3/ 4 th cooked. Remove and allow it to cool. Cut into half.

Heat oil in a pan and add the garlic chopped when it gives out a good aroma add the chili flakes give it few seconds then add the potatoes cut salt and pepper and rosemary chopped. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until potato is fully done and edges are crisp. Before switching off add parsley chopped and give it a gentle toss so the potato does not mash up.

Serve the stir fried purple potatoes with roasted Cornish hen and freshly pickled red onion and Red Wine(Homemade)
