Directions
Potatoes With Roasted Poppy Seeds,Lend a nutty, earthy taste to potatoes by flavoring it with roasted poppy seeds. Be sure to use the creamy white poppy seeds and not the black ones that are used in breads and baking. This dish has a distinctly delicious taste, rather different than that of the regular Indian potatoes made with either cumin or mustard seeds.,I grew up eating a Hungarian version of this dish, with paprika and caraway seeds as the main flavorings along side the poppy seeds, topped with sour cream. I was curious to try out this version, and am very glad that I did. The only ingredient I could not find was the white poppy seeds, so used my dark one (I have about a kilo of the stuff stashed in the freezer). The house smelled wonderful while I was making this! I served this with Recipe #337751 and a non-dairy version of Recipe #124718 using soy yogurt. The only thing missing was Ravi Shankar sitting across the table from me, but I had to made do with his CD playing in the background.
