Vegan MoFo: Samosa Potatoes--Yum!

BAKE SOMETHING ALREADY!

While looking through Veganomicon, I ran across the recipe for Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes.  We love Indian food here in this house, and I have a thing for samosas.  Spiced potato wrapped up in fried dough?  Yes please!  It's a rare occasion that I don't order those if they are on the menu at a restaurant.  




Mustard seeds and crushed coriander seeds, popping along in peanut oil.  It was a great smell.  

...until I burned them.  Oh well. I dumped them out and tried again!  The second time was the charm.  


After dicing, mashing, stuffing, and baking, here is what I wound up with:





The verdict:  We *loved* these.  Although I do so enjoy the fried dough that comes with a traditional samosa, it was a nice break to have the same taste but in a different form.  We will most assuredly be having these again!

I've made just the samosa mashed potatoes from VCon, but I've never gone the whole 9 yards to stuff 'em--definitely need to get on that, they look amazing!

What a great idea! Love samosas, that sounds nice and healthier than fried samosas!
