Potato 3 ways

Universally loved by all, POTATOES are an integral part of every household. Good source of energy, potatoes are consumed in many ways, like French Fries, Jacket Potatoes, as a Vegetable, Mashed Potatoes, etc.

Many Indian snacks include potatoes, like Vada Pav, Bonda, Bhajji, Pohe, etc.

In my recipe, I present three ways of making potato vegetable using three different mediums for cooking. In one recipe I have used oil, in another oil plus pure Ghee (clarified butter), and in the third one just pure Ghee (clarified butter).

Equally tasty, all three varieties can be eaten with a Roti, Bread, puffed Poories, or simply eaten as it is. Easy to carry in a lunch box, or taken on a picnic. Served hot or cold makes no difference in the taste.

I have used unpeeled potatoes in one variety, another cut in cubes, and in third peeled potatoes. This third variety where I have used just pure Ghee is usually consumed while fasting.

All three recipes fall under the Maharashtrian style of cooking. Even though no garlic or onions are used the original taste of potatoes is intact.
