The detailed steps are presented as follows.

Ingredients for Italian-style spicy potatoes

• 2 tbsp oil
• 5-6 cloves garlic – chopped
• 1 fresh green chilli – chopped
• 1 inch ginger – chopped
• 2 cups baby potatoes
• ½ tsp chilli flakes

• Salt to taste
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder
• A few mint leaves – roughly torn
• ¼ tsp dried oregano

Method of preparation

1. First, wash the baby potatoes properly and cut them in half, leaving the skin on. Soak the halved potatoes in water and keep them aside.
2. Now crush and chop garlic cloves, and chop ginger and green chillies, and keep them aside.
3. Set a kadai on the flame. In the kadai, add some oil (if you are using olive oil, do not use extra-virgin olive oil), and once it heats up, add the chopped ginger, garlic, and green chillies, and sauté for half a minute.
4. Then add baby potatoes, chilli flakes, dried oregano, crushed coriander seeds, salt, turmeric powder and mix everything properly. Then sprinkle some water and cover, and let the potatoes cook completely over medium heat.
