Sautéed Potatoes with Fresh Ginger and Spices

I really think potatoes are my favourite vegetable. I wouldn’t mind a meal entirely made up of them, and indeed Antoine Augustin Parmentier, who converted the French to potatoes in the late 18th century, once presented distinguished guests with a meal consisting only of potatoes, cooked in 20 different ways.

These spicy potatoes are especially good. You can serve them with other vegetable dishes or as an accompaniment to a non-vegetarian meal.
