Ingredients 0/6

½ cup cornmeal salt and ground black pepper to taste 2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 pound fresh okra, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 white onion, finely chopped ½ cup cooking oil

Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

These potatoes are bursting with unique flavors thanks to the kingombo infusion. They offer a delightful twist on a classic side dish, making every bite interesting and satisfying. The texture is perfectly tender with a subtle aromatic kick.

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes, okra, and onion to the bag, seal it up, and give everything a good shake so the veggies get nicely coated with the cornmeal mixture.

Step 2

Heat some cooking oil in a big skillet over medium heat until it’s shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add the coated vegetables to the hot oil and let them cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the okra and onions have a nice golden-brown color—this should take about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

When everything looks cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Then, you’re ready to serve!
