- The same dish can be prepared with regular potatoes, cut the boiled and peeled potatoes into bite-size pieces and follow the preparation method.
- If you are using medium sized potatoes, prick the boiled potatoes multiple times with the help of a fork. This will give a wonderful flavor to the final dish.
