This awesomely delicious Potato Mint Raita recipe has become our new favorite!
These days I am preparing a one pot rice dish at least twice a week and to go with that I prepare some kind of raita.
If you look through the blog you will find 50 Raita Recipes and that will tell you how much we love raitas with our meal.
Since I am also doing Blogging Marathon #112, Week 3 with the theme – Raitas , I thought I will try out some new varieties to post for this theme. And the result was this super delicious Potato Mint Raita.
The best part of this raita is the deep fried and crunchy potato bits that take the raita to the next level. Now I am sure you will agree with me that this is one of the best raita recipes!!
And the worst part is staying away from the fried potato bits! Yes, I couldn’t keep my hands off the plate of fried potato! And when the kids saw it, their joy knew no bounds! So we ate the plateful and then made it all over again to add to the raita! It is indeed so addictive!
Let’s see how to prepare this simple Potato Mint Raita Recipe
A delicious raita with crunchy potato bits and refreshing mint leaves.
- 1 no. Potato, large

I know what you are saying!! Fried potatoes are the best and the worst thing in the world at the same time! No way you can stop at just one piece :-). This combination is new to me, but I know that potatoes and mint make everything better. So I am sure this is delicious
Wow ! The combo of potatoes and mint is absolutely fantastic in a raita , mom used to make it regularly .
The mint is so cooling and its a perfect accompaniment for these hot summers .
Wow! That is an addictive combination of fried potato and mint in yogurt. I can imagine the scene happening just as you described in our place as well when there is fried potato involved 🙂
I am sure no one can resist this raita. The idea of fried potatoes in a raita sounds fantastic.
Potato in raita sounds so yum. This reminds me of chaat and I guess we can this raita as is, as a snack. Btw, I do eat riata as snack and this sounds so perfect for a person like me, whoo eats raita as a snack.
