Potato fry or Easy South Indian Urulaikizhangu (potato) fry or aloo fry is a simple and quick stir fried recipe made with potato. This easy potato curry  goes well with sambar rice or rasam rice or curd rice. I have two other posts of potato side dish recipe – Baby potato roast and potato peas fry. In this recipe, I used sambar powder instead of coriander and red chilly powder. Then the addition of fspices like fennel seeds and garlic gives a nice flavor and a great taste to potatoes. This is very tempting dish in which each bite of potato, you can feel the softness on inside and spicy masala coat on outside. I already posted baby potato roast. Serve this fry along with a bowl of rice topped with ghee and dal,.
