Wash the potatoes throughly with ample amount of water. Scrub with a steel wool piece to remove any pieces of dirt or soil if it is still there. Wash them once again and wipe with a dish cloth.
Now cut the baby potatoes in two halfs and rest of the potatoes into almost same size of chunks.
Heat up the oil in a thick bottomed flat pan I use an old kadahi ( wok kind of pan) you can use any thick bottomed pan if you don't have kadahi.
Now in hot oil add little bit of salt to taste and also potato chunks.
Cover the pan for 3-4 minutes with a lid and let the potato cook for 2-3 minutes.
Now remove the lid and keep it aside and let the potatoes cook for 6-7 minutes on medium heat till potatoes are done and brown blisters start to appear and outer skin starts to blister.
At this time switch off the heat and and serve them hot with drizzle of green chutney or slathered in chimichuri sauce.
