Ingredients

Directions

  1. Scrub the new potatoes thoroughly; peel if desired, though skins are edible and add texture.
  2. Place potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  4. Heat the safflower oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the red pepper flakes and turmeric, mixing well to combine with the oil.
  7. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and amber-colored.
  8. Gently add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, tossing carefully to coat them evenly in the spiced oil and onion mixture.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped mint leaves.
  10. Transfer the potatoes to a serving plate and drizzle with lemon juice.
  11. Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
