Simplest and easiest curry that we can make tasty even in a rush is Potato fry. It does not need much ingredients. I have used very basic ingredients to make this fry. It goes well with all rice varieties like Lemon rice, Curd rice, Rasam, Dal and Roti. Let us see how we can make crispy golden potato fry.
