• Boil the potatoes before roasting so the potatoes are soft and tender from inside.
• You can increase or decrease the amount of garlic to your liking.
• I have used baby potatoes in this recipe but this recipe works well with other potatoes as well including russet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes or even with sweet potatoes.
• Be sure to cut the potatoes about the same size to ensure even roasting.
• Keeping the skin on is purely your choice, I prefer roasting potatoes with the skin. It just tastes great!
• If you want even crispier exterior, you can roast a little longer
• You can also add fresh or dried herbs of your choice if you like.

Now let’s see how to make the perfect roasted garlic potatoes.

Hash browns are pan fried  crispy potato patties made with  shredded potatoes. They are very much like aloo tikki, the popular north Indian snack that is made with mashed boiled potatoes.

In this recipe I have added some finely chopped carrots and spinach in the potatoes. You can also try with other veggies of your choice.

The trick for the perfect crispy hash browns is to squeeze as much moisture out of the potatoes as possible and start to cook on medium high heat without disturbing   for at least 4 to 5 minutes.

These hash browns are quick to make and have become favorite in our home. Hope you all will like it too.

• 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves – chopped
• 1/2 medium onion- chopped finely
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cornflour
• 1/2 carrot – grated
• Red chili powder- 1/2 tsp
• Salt- To taste.

• In a bowl mix grated potatoes, spinach, onion, carrot
• Add 1/2 tsp salt and mix well
• Squeeze the veggie mixture to remove all the moisture out
• Add red chili powder and corn flour
• Adjust salt by tasting the mixture
• Form the mixture into patties
• Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying
