A real twist on American home fries, so good they can be eaten cold. Amchoor is dried mango powder, a supersour element; substitute lemon juice if you prefer. Amchoor powder is available at Indian markets. Serve these as you would any home fries. If you cook these in butter, they’ll be more authentic and more delicious. But oil is fine, too.
