Thanksgiving Potatoes and Yams

pinit

Thanksgiving is coming up and I thought this dish would be a great idea for the season! Anytime I go to the market, I think of buying something that will create a great dish.

The other day I noticed that the yams and sweet potatoes really looked fresh for this special Thanksgiving meal and I thought it would be good to try mixing all different kinds of potatoes and yams.

So I bought, Red, Yukon Gold, and Sweet Potatoes along with some yams. Sweet Potatoes and yams would make the dish sweeter so I added a few fresh green Chillis, Cilantro and some spices. I knew I would have to add lemon juice to make it tangy. So here it is. I think this would make a great side dish for Holidays instead of just yams or potatoes we have all of them here. You see the Cumin seeds and Black mustard in the picture-these are added in the oil to give the robust flavor. I use peanuts in many dishes – it is a personal preference. I enjoy the nutty flavor and crunchy feel. This can be a great Potato dish for Holidays- I am thinking of making this for a Thanksgiving meal as a side dish.

Peanuts are optional.
