Mango or lime pickled roast potatoes

Also known as Achari Aloo. This was something my Dad used to make when we had our family version of Sunday roast dinner done the South Asian way. Dad also experimented with tandoori tikka masala coating. Yes with that awful red food dye. Fortunately the tikka masala potatoes did not work so well, good thing as I have avoided fake food colourings and unnatural dyes all my adult life.
Use any lime or mango pickle, but ensure that it has plenty of liquid. Try not and use too much of the mango or lime pieces, as these will only dry up on cooking, it is the oil these are preserved in that you really want to use to coat the potatoe
