There are days when you just know what you need to eat to feel better. We all have that unwritten list of comfort food that is easy to make and can satisfy our tummies and overworked minds in no time. I won’t bore you with my long list. For now, I’ll just present you with one of my go-to dishes. I discovered this obvious meal at my mother-in-law’s one day. We got to their house one afternoon and I saw that they had a tasty-looking potato meal. I asked what it was and they answered something like ‘teased potatoes’. I’d like to tease my potatoes is what I thought. The recipe was simple, I was told. It’s all about the spice mix you add to potato cubes, and – stay cool – adding an egg at the very end! Without knowing exactly which spices to use and what were the exact steps, I set out to make my own ‘teased’ potatoes. I cannot guarantee that the ingredient quantities I’ll be sharing now are the same every time. This is a question of taste, and of pure fun. Just put on some happy music and go spontaneous.
I’ll share the ingredient and the steps I go through to make this dish and let you take it from there.
