  1. Combine the curry paste and 2 tablespoons of coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes, until the mixture stops sticking to the pan and begins to brown. Add the fish sauce and stir for a few seconds, then add the potatoes, peanuts, bay leaf, lemongrass, onion, the remaining coconut milk, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

    Cook over high heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
