Fried potatoes with mustard is a simple yet exquisite dish of European cuisine. Its roots trace back to traditional village recipes where spices played a key role in enhancing the flavor of simple ingredients. Mustard and cumin seeds heated in oil release their deep, spicy aroma that perfectly complements the soft and golden potatoes. The mild spiciness of mustard blends with the warmth of cumin, while fresh cilantro and a slice of lemon add brightness and freshness. This dish is great as a standalone snack or as a side to meat and vegetable dishes. It can be served warm or slightly chilled, making it a versatile option for lunch or dinner.
