    A man is holding up a plate which is filled with Swiss chard and potato fry.

    A crisp bunch of Swiss chard and potatoes is all you need to create one of the simple and delicious side dishes for steamed rice or any main dish for that matter. Swiss chard is a foolproof vegetable that grows almost year-round.

    With fall season starting to take shape, the leaves at this time have a dark hue and that adds great color to your plate too.

    The pairing combinations are limitless and it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare this!

    I have 2 big pots for Swiss chard on my patio and they have come in handy so many times when I am looking for simple recipes.

    Typically, I use them to prepare dal and I stumbled upon this recipe idea as a variation of sauteed spinach and potatoes.

    Swiss chard and potatoes complement each other in ensuring that the flavors are well distributed. The flavors come from simple everyday spices, sauteed with chard leaves.

    I have shared several Indian stir fry recipes with you in the past like beetroot poriyal, beans palya, cauliflower sabzi, spicy potato curry. The popularity of these recipes is what led me to try this new variation with swiss chard.

    Try preparing this recipe today! You will not be disappointed...

    Ingredients

    A bowl is with swiss chard and other ingredients for stir fry
    • Swiss chard: I used homegrown Swiss chard, but you could also get this at your local grocer. Look for fresh bunch without any wilted leaves. The leaf stalks typically snap off easily when they are fresh. So look for that when you buy them.
    • Potatoes: Red or Brown russet potatoes work equally well. Leaving a little bit of skin on the potatoes is also good, if you like that taste.
    • Spices: I used simple and common spices like turmeric powder, chili powder and garam masala.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Start by peeling the potato skin and cutting them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a bowl and add water to wash off the starch.

    A non stick pan is with cubed potatoes over the heat.

    Place a pan over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of oil. As the oil heats up add the cubed potatoes and saute for 3 minutes.

    Add salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, and stir well. Continue to saute until the potatoes are cooked.

    Cook for another 2 minutes and switch off the heat.

    Substitutions

    • Swiss chard - Instead of Swiss chard you can use red or yellow chard, or rainbow chard leaves or even spinach.
    • Potatoes - I used red potatoes, but brown russet potatoes are also equally good.
    • Oil - I used olive oil for this dish, but other good substitutions are coconut oil, corn oil or vegetable oil.

    Variations

    • Spicy - Add chili pepper flakes or red chili powder while cooking to imbue some heat into the dish.
    • More veggies - Add variety of vegetables like carrots, beets to the dish as you stir fry the potatoes. Adding more vegetables makes it tasty and colorful.

    Storage

    Store the Swiss chard and potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I do not recommend freezing stir fry recipes such as this one.

    Top tips

    • Wash well and remove any pesticides from the Swiss chard if you are buying them from the store.
    • Chop them into small pieces before adding them to the recipe. The leaf stalks are also edible (and crispy). So be sure to use them too.
    • Boiling the potatoes first before cutting them into little cubes can be a neat trick to save you some time.
    • Adding Curry powder instead of all the spices listed in the ingredients can be a good option as a variation.
