Spiced Potatoes

My started making this dish a few years ago, and we sometimes use it to make samosa's, but its a great vegetarian side dish. Its simple, relatively quick, and delicious.

Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
1 medium carrot
2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil
3 tablespoons of water
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon 7 spice mix (found at middle eastern grocery stores)
Start by peeling two medium sized potatoes

Start by peeling your potatoes.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise so they resemble logs, then dice them up in squares about 3/4 of an inch big. Do the same with the onion.

Heat up a medium on medium heat, and add a tablespoon of oil. After about 20 seconds, add the potatoes and carrots. Mix them up so the vegetables are coated with the oil. After about 5 minutes, add the carrots, and a tablespoon of water. Sprinkle on salt and pepper, and mix up well.

Cook for another 5 minutes, and add another tablespoon of water. Saute another 5 minutes, and add the last tablespoon of water, about half a tablespoon more oil, and the spices.


Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated, and the potatoes are tender. Transfer to a plate, and garnish with some parsley.
