Ingredients: Precise Measurements
300g potatoes
150g ham
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp chili powder (adjust to your taste)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
1/2 tsp sugar
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions: Quick and Easy
Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1.5 cm cubes. Cut the ham into small cubes. Mince the garlic and set aside.
Fry the Potatoes: Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan, and once it’s hot, add the potato cubes. Stir-fry until the potatoes turn light golden brown, about 5 minutes. The exterior should be slightly crispy, while the inside remains soft.
Fry the Ham and Season: Add the ham cubes to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the ham turns slightly brown and releases its fragrance. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns light golden.
Add the Seasonings: Add the cumin powder, chili powder, soy sauce, black pepper, sugar, and salt to the pan. Stir everything well to evenly coat the potatoes and ham with the spices.
Finish and Serve: Stir-fry until the potatoes and ham are fully seasoned and slightly crispy, then remove from heat. Garnish with some fresh cilantro or green onions for added flavor.
Tips:
Don’t fry the potatoes too long; they should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
You can choose any type of ham based on your preference. If you like a saltier flavor, go for cured ham.
A little bit of sugar helps balance the spiciness of the cumin and chili, making the dish more well-rounded.
This cumin potato ham dish is a great side dish or snack that pairs perfectly with rice or can even be enjoyed on its own. It’s so tasty, you won’t be able to stop eating!
