To serve, put potatoes in a nice serving plate and sprinkle cumin and cinnamon on top. Serve with pita bread and yogurt, tzatziki sauce or salad.Nothing is as satisfying as meat and potatoes, cooked together and topped with some savory spices. It's easy to make and is often served as a main dish or for lunch. It is served with a light salad or Greek yogurt. This meat and potato mixture can also be used for making a sandwich and add some fresh sliced tomatoes to the sandwich and it tops it off.

@sabu4646ar I would brown the meat first on the stove top and then put it all together and in the oven :)

I had a quick question. If I wanted to cook this in the oven, rather than on the stove, how would I go about doing that? Could I just try all the stuff in the pot and throw it in the oven, or would I have to let the meat cook first then add the potatoes?
