BOMBAY POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the ginger and garlic, chop the tomatoes, then place in a blender and blitz until smooth. Chop the potatoes into 5cm chunks.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden, gently squishing them with a potato masher to increase the surface area and give you more crispy bits.
• Trim and roughly chop the spring onions, and deseed and finely slice the chilli (how much you use depends on how hot you like it!). Pick the coriander leaves and reserve, then finely chop the stalks.
• Add the cumin and mustard seeds to the pan and cook for 1 minute, until the cumin starts to darken. Add the spring onion, chilli and coriander stalks and cook for 2 minutes, then add the blitzed ginger mixture, the rest of the spices and a pinch of seasoning. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Serve the crispy Bombay potatoes with dollops of yoghurt, and the coriander leaves scattered over.

MARY BERRY'S CHEESE-TOPPED DAUPHINOIS POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Peel the potatoes and rinse under cold water, then dry and slice very thinly by hand or with the slicer attachment on a processor. Put the stock into a large jug and mix with the cream.
• Arrange a layer of potato over the base of the tin, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then pour over a little of the stock mixture. Continue in the same way until the potato and liquid are used up. Dot the butter over the top and cover tightly with foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until soft around the edges but still firm in the middle. Remove the foil and cook for a further 25--30 minutes or until golden and tender. Leave to cool, then chill - overnight is best.
• Choose a lipped board or tray that's bigger than the roasting tin (so it will catch any juices) and place on a worktop. Carefully tip the roasting tin upside down on to it and remove the paper. Cut the potatoes into even-sized servings, arrange on a greased or paper-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle the cheese on top.
• Reheat in an oven preheated to 200C/gas mark 6 for 25-30 minutes or until golden and piping hot.

BOMBAY POTATOES

Steps:

• Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once water is boiling, cook until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and heat until they start to pop. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until spices are fragrant, up to 1 minute, watching carefully so spices do not burn. Add onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add drained potatoes to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir to thoroughly coat the potatoes with the spice mixture. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
