Spicy Slow Cooker Potatoes
This Sri Lankan-inspired side features layers of potatoes infused with mustard and cumin seeds, green chiles, and a flutter of red pepper flakes for deep warmth and aroma. The slow cooker lets the spices bloom while the onions soften and sweeten, yielding tender, fiery potatoes that pair beautifully with curries or grilled meats for dinner.
