Instant and Homemade

Some nights I really can't be bothered to properly cook. Some nights I can be semi-inspired to make something instant while actually making a side dish. It has been one of those choice b) nights. The main was a Chicken Kiev from M&M's Meatshops and I made some spiced potatoes as a side. I've been making this recipe for a while now, and it's a bit different every time. I eyeball it, and I recommend you do too, since you can alter the taste to suit you.

*Please note that the chicken is cooked and not pink, just poor camera settings on my part.

Spiced Potatoes

Ingrediants:

One Potato
A bit less than 1/2 a teaspoon each of preferred spices, coriander, cumin, tumeric and curry powder are a great start.
Dash of Olive Oil
Half an Onion, yellow or white.

Clean potato and peel if desired. Chop into 1cm thick-ish pieces and place into mixing bowl.

Add desired spices to bowl and toss potatoes to coat. Add olive oil and toss.

Place on foil lined baking tray and baked in 400˚C oven for about 30 minutes, or until, when tested they have a crispy outside and tender inside. I bake them right next to the Kiev for about the same time, works fairly well.

Meanwhile, chop onion. Add more olive oil to a frying pan and quickly fry onions on medium heat. When onions are almost soft and cooked, added potatoes to give final crisp to them and extra flavour. Chuck on the plate and you have a side dish!
