Marinate the boiled rounds with a mixture of masala paste (ground garlic, ginger and dry spices).

After an hour, take a shallow frying pan and pour in olive oil upto one inch in depth. Heat till slightly smoking. Lower heat.

Fry a few potato slices at a time, till golden brown. Fry patiently till all slices are done.
