Spiced Potatoes

Spiced Potatoes

To tell the truth this recipe belongs to my son:) That's right my 5 year old son. I don't know where he got the idea and potatoes are his favorite. I haven't being making them for sometime. He was complaining to his dad that I'm only preparing food that he and his sister like. Well he's the tendency to ask for weird combination recipe like add blueberries to chicken or chocolate ect. Just to make him quite for some day I decide to prepare his potatoes stir fry. that's when he pulled up a chair next to me and gave me this recipe which I prepare according to my way:)
