Just stir fry the potatoes occasionally and allow them to cook completely in low flame. If you are using a traditional iron pan, then it is always better to sprinkle some water and cook the potatoes also we need to be generous in  adding oil to get nicely roasted potatoes. For non-stick, adding a tablespoon of oil in the beginning itself is sufficient.  
4. Finally once our potatoes are nicely cooked, we can sprinkle besan flour and mix well and keep in low flame for another 5 mintues and then switch off the flame. Adding besan flour roast the potatoes evenly and we can get golden brown potatoes which are not sticky with each other. Do not mix the potatoes very frequently with the ladle as it may result in mashing of potatoes.
