Ah, curry.

Creamy, silky, flavor packed curry. There really isn’t much that can beat a really delicious curry. The word curry is starting to sound weird…curry, curry, curry.

It just has so much flavor! It is the polar opposite of bland and boring. There is really no reason to make plain dinners when you can throw together a simple recipe like this one that is SO much better! So. Much. Better.

Also, have you ever made your own curry powder blend before? It is really easy to do, and I think it tastes way better. Also, if you already have all the spices in your cabinet, you can save a couple bucks and not buy the premade curry blend from the store!

Alright, so let me just walk you through the delicious process of making this mouth-watering meal.

Crispy Potato Curry - A simple and delicious dish! Crispy potatoes and a creamy sauce made with coconut milk, onions, garlic, jalapeños, and homemade curry powder all mix together to form a flavorful pot of comforting goodness!! Gluten free - vegan. TheGarlicDiaries.com

First, roast your potatoes. Roast them until they are perfectly brown and crispy ????.

Second, make your sauce, which includes the wonderful process of sauteing onions, garlic, ginger, and jalapenos before mixing in your curry powder and coconut milk. Let that all simmer together for about ten minutes while your house fills with the smell of happiness.

Third, resist eating half of the crispy, roasted potatoes as they sit on your counter.

Third, fail and eat half of them anyway.

Fourth, try even harder not to eat the other half so you have something left for your yummy, creamy curry sauce to coat.

Fifth, stir the potatoes into the curry and watch the magical process of the sauce and the potatoes mixing together and transforming into flavor heaven.

Sixth, eat. And then eat more. And then put it in the fridge and come back twenty minutes later to have a few more bites. Continue for the rest of your evening.

Let’s just talk about the potatoes for a minute…the potatoes are so delicious that they could have been their own recipe all by themselves.

They are just so flavorful and crispy and perfect. The crispy, slightly salty/peppery exterior and the soft, fluffy interior = beeeest thing ever.

I was tempted to give them their very own post, but they were even better mixed into the curry, so I resisted.

*Note about potatoes: If you mix them into the sauce and serve them like that, they will lose some of that crispy-ness they get in the oven. I have no problem with this because you still get that yummy roasted flavor and the curry sauce soaks into the potatoes even more. However, if you do have a problem with this, there is a super simple solution. Instead of serving the potatoes and curry already mixed together, spoon your crispy potatoes into a bowl and ladle the curry sauce on top right before eating. Totally up to you! Both ways will be wonderful.*

How was your weekend?? Did you do lots of fun things?

I cooked for a good portion of mine. I had a few mishaps throughout that process, though.

One mishap included baked quesadilla rollups with ranch guacamole. I was thinking it was going to be AMAZING and it ended up being very not amazing. The rollups were okay, but not nearly good enough to post on here (I save the best for you people). But the ranch guacamole….was…absolutely…disgusting. If you are ever about to add ranch powder to guacamole thinking it will taste unique and delicious and clever (me! me!), just stop. Just stop right there and remember what I am saying to you. It is nasty. It sounded really good to me, buuuuuut false. Gross. Then again, maybe someone else has found a yummy way to make that happen, and my methods were just iffy.

Also, I literally would have bet you a million dollars that I had a can of black beans in my pantry…I was so absolutely and positively sure that I had them. Why? Because I opened up my cabinet to see if I had any, saw a can, and noted, “Yes, I have black beans.”

Then, the next day when I was about to make a recipe using the black beans, I opened the cabinet to find that there were ZERO black beans. The way I see it, we have two options here.

  1. I had an extremely vivid dream that I checked for black beans in my cabinet and found some.
  2. Someone broke into my house with one thing on their mind: a desperate need for black beans. They then took MY can from the cabinet and left without harming or stealing anything else in my house.

I’m going to go with option two, the black bean thief, because if option one is what actually happened, it means that I am dreaming about finding black beans in my cabinet, and I have officially gone crazy and let my food blog occupy far too large an area in my brain.

So keep your eyes out for black-bean-thieves…because they’re out there, people. They’re out there.

Aaaanyway, so I wasn’t able to make my black bean recipe, and the quesadillas were a big, huge fail. So other than my two small cooking mishaps, I had a pretty successful weekend.

A weekend that resulted in this Crispy Potato Curry ❤️????.

    You are soo cute! I love how you write your instructions, it sounds just like how I cook….I am usually full before dinner is on the table hahaha! The black bean thief has definitely been to my house too! Potato curry is one of our favourite dishes and I am looking forward to making your version tonight!

    Hi there,
    This recipe sounds delicious and I plan on making it next week.
    In the interests of wanting to use what I already have I was wondering how much Curry Powder I should use in place of your simple recipe amounts? I have a ready-mixed pack of Schwartz Curry Powder that I am trying to use up before buying some of the other spices.
    How many tsps of this would you recommend?
    Thank you.

      My spice blend makes about 5 teaspoons, but curry powder itself can tend to be pretty strong. I would start with 2-3 teaspoons and then as you are simmering the coconut milk and veggie stock in, you can taste the sauce and decide if you want to add another teaspoon or two of curry powder if the flavor isn’t strong enough!

    Just made this for lunch/dinner rotation for the week. It was simple to make and came out very tasty. I chose to leave the potatoes and gravy separate and will combine them as I eat. Thanks!

      So glad you liked this recipe, Kay! It definitely keeps the potatoes crispier if you leave them separate from the sauce, which is always good!

    New fan here! My husband and I made this yesterday, and it was truly outstanding. We make all kinds of curry all the time, including potato curry but never thought to roast the potatoes beforehand until I saw this recipe. I was blown away at how the flavor profile changes! We only added some roasted eggplant to our curry. Thanks for sharing!

    This was delicious! I reduced the amount of curry powder because my husband isn’t really a fan. I also par – boiled the potatoes first. My picky 4 year old daughter really liked it too!

      Good question, Danni! I haven’t ever tried freezing cooked potatoes because I have read that they don’t freeze very well and can become grainy. So it might be worth a try, but I haven’t heard great things about it!

    I never knew you could make your own curry power blend! I’ve got to try that. And your roasted potatoes really are perfect!

    This looks like my kind of curry! We are on a huge curry kick at the moment and actually had 3 curries last week. But we haven’t made a potato curry before, so definitely going to have to do that soon.

    I actually had curry for 3 days last week – ha! I didn’t have a meal planned and threw it together last minute and then had a ton of leftovers, which worked out well because I’m obsessed with curry. I can’t wait to try this version with roasted potatoes. What a genius idea! Sorry about the recipe fails.. I HATE when that happens. Have a good week Annie!
