OKRA AND POTATOES

This is one dish that my husband can eat everyday. back home we cook okra in many different ways, like stuff okra, okra with minced okra with meat but potatoes was his addition he loved this recipe .because this way the okra don’t have slime  ,there are few tips that I want to share 1. wash the okra and completely dry before cutting ,I usually wash and dry one day and cut and cook the other day and off course  it stay in refrigerator .fry them before adding any thing like onion and tomato etc you don’t  have to add much oil.

So here we go folks my very special okra and potato enjoy.
