Baby potatoes Fry - Nowadays I've started using less oil in my cooking. I try to saute mostly, for the recipes which involve deep frying, the air fryer comes to the rescue. I simply cook the vegetable, toss them with the masala, put them in the basket add 1 or 2 tbsp of oil (yes that's all), and air fry for 15 or 20 minutes. Voila, the result is crispy baby potato which goes well with almost everything.
The second method is the normal stove top method which involves using oil at regular intervals. Ok to the recipe now,

Baby potatoes: Rinse the potatoes in a wide-mouthed bowl filled with water and vinegar(optional). Wash them again in running water.
