Masala Yukon Potato Hash

Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

If you haven't tried yukon gold potatoes you're missing a lot. It's completely different from Idaho potato, a little bit sweeter and waxy than Idaho. If you haven't tried panch puran, which is all 5 different whole spices from India. It lends a fantastic taste and fragrance too.

Remember, it's all about the taste! Chef Jyoti
