A few days ago I got hungry late at night and I wanted to make myself something simple and nice. A meaty meal would've been too heavy. So I decided to pick some potatoes, carrots and a can of haricot beans and make a nice Bratkartoffeln (german fries). It was still a bit heavy, because I added some white wine into it. I like this improvisation of Bratkartoffeln and I love to cook it again, if I should run out of meat =)

For best results, cook the potatoes in salted water in their skins until tender. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a vegetable knife or vegetable peeler.
Once cooled, slice the potatoes into 1/2 cm thick slices. Heat the pan, once hot, add olive oil.  Put the potato slices in the pan, taking care not to overlap them. Cook on one side for 8-10 minutes and then turn and brown on the other side. Then add carrots (should be sliced thinly), haricot beans and the spices.
Cook for another 3 minutes on each side, add salt and pepper to taste and then cook on a high heat for another 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Finally add some white wine and the smell of it with all the spices was so wonderful. 

For those, who cannot live without meat, you can add some cubed ham, as the original Bratkartoffeln also contains ham.
