Spicy potatoes
"I learnt this from a book intended for vegetarian students, which means it's cheap, tasty, quick and easy. Great as a side dish with a main meal. Even better, just make a batch and devour while watching tv."

Easy recipe with great flavor. The recipe didn't say to cut the potatoes but I decided to cut these small potatoes into fours, like large chips. Great combination of flavors. Be careful not to burn the spices before adding your water and potatoes.
