Crispy & Golden Batata Harra (Arabic Potatoes)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs small red potatoes (or use regular potatoes if you don't have baby potatoes - see notes)
• 1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
• 3 large cloves garlic (crushed)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp chilli flakes (more per taste)
• 1/2 tsp dry dill (optional)
• 1/4 cup parsley
• 1/2 lemon (juiced)

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by boiling the potatoes whole for about 10-15 mins until a fork can be inserted (but they are not overly soft)

2. 2

   Meanwhile finely chop the parsley and crush the garlic

3. 3

   Once boiled, rinse the potatoes to cool them, then chop into bite size pieces (I keep the peel on which is optional)

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat and add the garlic and chilli flakes and mix for a minute (make sure the garlic doesn't burn or brown too much)

5. 5

   Add the potatoes right into the pan and season with the salt, paprika, coriander, parsley and dill

6. 6

   Allow the potatoes to crisp up for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides

7. 7

   When they're ready, squeeze the lemon juice on top, and turn off the heat. Serve as a side and enjoy!
