Ingredients

  • 1 lb Baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp oil Trader Joes garlic flavored olive oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp urad dal
  • 1 number red chili broken into pieces ( optional for extra spice)
  • salt to taste
  • 4-5 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder optional

Instructions

  1. Wash the baby potatoes in the running water. Drain the water and keep it ready.
  2. Turn on the instant pot to saute mode. Once it displays 'HOT'.Add 2 tbsp of oil, Wait for a minute and add mustard seeds.

  3. Once the mustard seeds pop up add urad dal and 1 broken chili. Wait for the urad dal to turn light brown. Add water and deglaze the pot. This will avoid the instant pot burn notice.

  4. Add the Costco baby potatoes, salt, chili powder.

  5. Mix all together well and close the lid and set pressure cook or manual for 4 minutes.
  6. Once it's completed do a Quick release after 10 minutes.

  7. Check for the salt, spice, etc. If there is any water leftover, turn on the saute mode and cook extra 2 minutes.

  8. After this, I just transfer whole Costco baby potatoes from instant pot to cast iron and roast in medium flame for few minutes until I get the desired crisp. If needed add extra oil for roasting. This step is totally optional.
