Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
• 1 yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the ghee and let it melt, coating the pan.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, and chili flakes (if using). Stir for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down into a saucy consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper, then pour in the water. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked through, fold in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Step 10

Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the freshly chopped cilantro and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.

Step 11

Serve hot as a main dish or a flavorful side. Enjoy your Crazy Sherpa Potatoes!
