Note: I finally added some ghee to brown the potatoes, the vegetable oil just didn't do it alone. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it is very hot. Add the potatoes and cook, turning and tossing, until they are browned and cooked (20-25 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Note: I folded Spicy Mushrooms with Ginger and Chilies into the Pilaf. It was very good the first day and exceptional the second day Recipe By : Pat Gold
