I agree with Charishma, these are interesting-looking; the turmeric lends a gold hue to the potatoes and, of course, they're flecked with green from the onions. I liked it. Great tasting potatoes, but really dry. I used russets; maybe red or Yukon Gold boiling potatoes would have been less dry. With all the cumin, these potatoes lend themselves well to anything Southwestern. I topped mine with a little fat free sour cream to counteract the dryness. I should think salsa and guacamole would also be great.

AWESOME! SPLENDID! REALLY TASTY! Welcome to Zaar, Mini! I was soo glad to see you back with a recipe, that I knew I had to make it rightaway. Luckily, I had just exact spring onions to make this as a side dish for lunch this afternoon for my dad and me. It was ready even before I knew it and we enjoyed it with bread and rotis. Dad and me both admired the interesting look of this dish. A definite keeper! Will make again!
