Easy One Pot Spiced Potatoes
Ingredients
- 5 russet potatoes peeled & cubed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 Thai chile dried
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric ground
- 1 handful fresh mixed greens I like to use spinach, kale and arugula
Instructions
- Peel, chop, and rinse/drain potatoes. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil.
- Sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
- Add cumin seeds, cloves, and the Thai chile to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, stir & cook a few minutes longer.
- Stir in the potatoes, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Turn the heat to high and cook a few minutes more while stirring continuously.
- Add the water to the pan until potatoes are just covered.
- Cover, bring to boil, and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid, turn the heat to high and cook until all water has evaporated, about 15-20 minutes longer.
- Turn off and remove from the heat when you hear a crackling sound & can smell your potatoes browning (or flip an edge a little to check).
- Throw in a handful of mixed greens, cover the pot, and then let it sit for 5-10 minutes to wilt & then cool. Remove the thai chili (the flavor has been extracted) before serving!
- Enjoy!
