Cumin Pan-seared Potato

Ingredients

    3 red potatoes
    1 head of garlic, minced
    1 green chili pepper, diced
    1 red chili pepper, diced
    2-3 dried chili pepper, cut into small pieces
    2 tablspoons oil
    ½ tablespoon salt
    ½ tablespoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon cumin powder
    ½ tablespoon dried basil





Instructions

    Bring a medium pot of water to boil over high heat, carefully add the potatoes into the pot and then turn to medium heat.
    Boil the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes until softened but still firm (I tested with a chopstick, you could also use a folk or a knife)
    Drian the potatoes in a colander and then peel.
    Cut the peeled potatoes into long halfs, carefully and slightly pat the potatoes with a knife to make them flatter.
    Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat, add in half of the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes untilthe garlic is browned and fragrant.
    Turn to low heat, add in the potatoes and pan-fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes until both sides of the potatoes are browned, set the potatoes and the garlic aside.
    Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat, toss in the other half of the garlic, the red green and dried peppers, season with cumin powder, salt and pepper, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
    Add in the potatoes and garlic and toss in the dried basil, stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
    Remove from the pan and serve.
