How to prepare potato masala for Masala Dosa:
You have to boil potatoes and peel the skin. Crumble the potatoes into somewhat big pieces, do not mash them .
Chop tomatoes, green chillies and slice onions.
Heat oil in a fry pan, and splutter  mustard, add urad dal, channa dal, hing and cashewnuts.
When they get golden add the onions, green chillies and curry leaves. Stir till the onions turn transparent.
Now, add  grated carrots and green peas if you are adding them. Stir for a minute .
Add crumbled potatoes, turmeric powder and salt to taste, Cover and cook for a few minutes stirring well in between so that all the ingredients mix well.
Add tomatoes to this and simmer till the tomatoes get soft.

Points to Note:
For some, like my family, just Potatoes will not be agreeable. To solve the problem, I add carrots, green peas, cashewnuts etc and of course Hing (Asafoetida) to help you with the gas problems.
If you mash the potatoes the mix will not come out nicely. If you like you can crumble the potatoes a little more than I do. We like to bite into potatoes.
