Nepali aloo – crispy potatoes in a fragrant, spiced, ginger, garlic, vinegar sauce – is a super easy and flavorful side dish. They also make a delicious snack! This post was originally published on April 3, 2009.

This is a recipe from when my husband and I first moved to Seattle after getting married. My maasi (that’s my auntie), visited us. At that time, we were living a very bachelor kind of life, not cooking much at home, but maasi wanted to eat at home, so she made a bunch of dishes and taught me how to make them, too. One of these was these Nepali potatoes (Nepali aloo- potatoes from the country of Nepal ), and they were so delicious and super easy!
I don’t know where she got the recipe from, and there are a couple of different variations online. This is my maasi’s version, where she fries up some ginger, garlic, and green chilies, and then makes a tarka: the spice oil with mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Then she fries up some boiled potatoes and mixes them with all of the tempering along with a little bit of vinegar for tang. They make the best potatoes you’ve ever had!! The spices, ginger and garlic, vinegar all work amazingly ...
