Cumin Potatoes

I made these too. Very easy...I didn't even use Simply Potatoes. Pretty good...I think they needed red pepper or something spicy. We put sour cream on them, and I threw the cilantro in the pan at the last minute.

Cumin Potatoes

"Cumin potatoes are common in India; this is a different accompaniment for steak." -Veenu Chopra, New Delhi, India

4 cups cubed peeled baking potato (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (I used ground cumin, bc Kroger didn't have cumin seeds)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Cook potato in boiling water 10 minutes or until tender; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds to pan, and sauté 30 seconds. Add onion, salt, coriander, and paprika; sauté 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add potato; sauté 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with cilantro.
