Roasted Potatoes with Cranberry Chutney

When cooking at home, I believe in keeping things simple — particularly during the holidays. For example, I always keep pre-boiled potatoes in the refrigerator, which can be added to scrambled eggs, vegetable curry or, even more basic, be simply sliced and roasted in the oven with toppings. Aside from their gorgeous color, purple potatoes have four times more antioxidants than regular potatoes. I love using them, especially when there may be a constant parade of friends and family stopping by.

Chutneys are the most exciting condiments of the Indian subcontinent. There are hundreds of chutneys in India, and they’re usually intensely flavored and meant to be eaten in small portions. This tart yet sweet cranberry chutney is delicious on purple potatoes and with roasted turkey or ham, too. It also adds some brightness as a sandwich spread or can become a glaze for roasted chicken breast. Like boiled potatoes, it’s handy to have in the fridge during the holiday entertaining season.

Cook Time

Serves

Directions

Roasted Potatoes:

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until fork tender. Drain, then chill them for 2 to 3 hours or preferably overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Without peeling the potatoes, slice them into 1/2-inch wheels. Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet and brush generously with ghee or olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and amchur. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have a bit of color on the edges.

Step 3

Place a small chunk of cream cheese on each potato slice and top with a small dollop of cranberry chutney. Return to the oven for another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve them warm and garnish with scallions.

Cranberry Chutney:

Step 1

In a large stockpot, combine all the ingredients and bring to a rapid simmer on medium heat. The apple, cranberries, and sugar will soften and release liquid. Lower the heat, cover the stockpot and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until it thickens and comes together. Turn the heat off and let the chutney rest.

Step 2

The flavors are best the next day; this recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of chutney, so you will have plenty for other uses.

Aloo Poshto

Aloo (which means potato) cooked in a poppy seed (poshto) sauce is a legendary dish from Bengal, enjoyed both in Bangladesh and in West Bengal, India. It’s rich, creamy, decadent, and delicious. Normally eaten with dal and/or grilled meats, along with the Bangla steak, it’s a Bengali meat and potatoes dish of sorts. While in most cases, it is a traditional dish where the potatoes are usually deep fried, we opted for this variation with the potatoes sauteed with the onions and a little addition of cream at the end.

Baked Fenugreek Sweet Potatoes

Growing up in India, I had tasted only one kind of sweet potato, the morning glory that is now believed to have originated in eastern India. Fenugreek, the fragrant, slightly bitter herb pairs beautifully with the sweet potato; both are power-packed with flavor and nutrients. The coriander seeds give the fenugreek masala a unique lemony flavor.

Ghee Mashed Potatoes

Butter from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows makes wonderful ghee. A visiting Indian guru even told me there is a new term going around — “veghan,” or vegan with ghee. Here is a recipe for lightly mashed potatoes inspired by South Indian cuisine — feel free to replace the ghee with coconut oil for a plant-based version.
