This tasty and simple side dish accompanies any kind of fish, meat or chicken. Any variety of potato can be used, but chef Hassan M'Souli from Sydney's Out of Africa Restaurant recommends using washed potatoes.
Ingredients
4 very large potatoes, scrubbed1 sprig thyme
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
Place the potatoes, thyme and half the salt in a saucepan. Cover with water and boil for about 30 minutes or until soft on the inside. Remove from the pan to cool.Meanwhile, roast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan until fragrant. When cool, crush the cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle.
Leaving the skin on, cut the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh (leave about 0.5cm of flesh in the jackets). Cut the jackets into bite size pieces.
Combine the cumin and remaining salt, and sprinkle onto the potato jackets. Dip into the egg and deep-fry in hot oil until crisp. Serve immediately.
