Mix Fruit Salad with Roasted Potato Fries
Clean your fridge salad

Mix Fruit Salad with Roasted Potato Fries brings back one of my very vivid memory. In my home country, I used to visit a very famous book store on one of busy shopping plaza called - Connaught Place. More than looking for books, I always loved getting chance to eat from a "Fruit Chaat Wala" (Person selling
Fruit Chaat on the side of road in a small cart). He always roasted potato fries on a huge hot iron tawa (skillet) that filled whole plaza will amazing potato fries aroma. Once you place order for chaat, he will fill a bowl of fruit and ripe diced tomatoes, add some lemon juice, spices and top it with pan fried potatoes fries. Oh, super delicious and amazing!!!
I can still sniff the same aroma while writing this post - in my imagination of course. Today's salad is my take on that mouthwatering Fruit Chaat and a tribute to an excellent road side chef who made people lick their fingers eating his chaat.
Some of my favorite potato recipe:
Ingredients
- 2-3 Cup Mixed Fruits (Any fruit available in your fridge plus few cherry tomatoes if possible)
- 2 Potatoes (2 medium size yellow potatoes, diced to big bite size pieces)
- 1/4 tsp Salt and Black Pepper (adjust per taste)
- 2 tbsp Lemon (juice)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Powder (Optional)
- 1/2 tbsp Sugar
Directions
- 1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring 2-4 cups of water to rolling boil. Add potatoes and let boil for about 5-7 minutes or till fork tender.
- 2. While potatoes are boiling, dice the fruits available into 2 inch cubes and place in a bowl. Mix in 1 tbsp lemon juice to prevent fruit from browning. Also mix rest of juice with salt, cumin powder, red pepper powder (if using), black pepper, and sugar in a separate bowl to make dressing.
- 3. Once potatoes are tender, transfer them to a paper towel to dry out water. Heat oil in a pan, add potatoes and let'em crisp until golden brown from all sides.

4. Transfer fruit to individual serving plates, top with potato fries and remaining dressing. Serve immediately. It tastes best when potatoes are still warm.
