The only time involved in this is peeling and cutting of the potatoes. So let's get right down to it.
I used Russet Potatoes for this (the long sturdy variety) but any kind of potato will work for this.

Finely Chopped Potato Roast
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients

1. 3 Russet Potatoes
2. salt to taste
3. 1 tbsp oil
4. 2 tsp turmeric powder
5. 1/2 tbsp sambhar powder or 1/2 Red Chili Powder

Method

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Slit the potatoes into 2 horizontally, place the flat side down and make thin slices lengthwise about 6 or so and then cut them across to make small cubes.
2. Place the cut cubes of potatoes in a bowl of water.
3. In a cast iron pan heat oil, spread the oil all over the pan.
4. When the oil is hot, drain the water and add the potatoes to the pan.
5. Saute the potatoes for 3-4 minutes so all the potatoes are well coated with the oil.
6. Sprinkle salt and cover the pan with a lid cook, lower the flame to slightly less than medium and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Open in between and mix it in so to avoid sticking to the pan.
7. Open the lid, check if the potato is cooked, make sure to not overcook it. If cooked mix the potatoes well.
8. Add turmeric and either the sambhar powder or red chiii powder and continue to cook till the potatoes are nice and roasted. Sprinkle a bit more oil or add more spices if required.

Tasty side of potates are ready to be served.
