Mustang Potato

Mustang Potato is a beloved traditional dish originating from the Mustang region of Nepal, known for its rich flavors and high-altitude charm. Made using locally grown mountain potatoes, this dish is stir-fried or pan-roasted with a bold mix of mustard oil, cumin, turmeric, green chili, garlic, ginger, Sichuan pepper (timur), and fresh herbs. The result is a warm, aromatic, and slightly tangy potato dish with a unique kick, thanks to the timur and hint of natural smokiness from the cooking style. Often served as a side dish or appetizer, Mustang Potato is perfect with dal-bhat or enjoyed on its own with a warm beverage. It’s earthy, comforting, and deeply rooted in Nepali heritage — a must-try for lovers of bold, regional flavors.
