Sharing one of my favorite side dishes: lebanese batata harra (i.e. spicy potatoes) and I will serve it in two ways
Ingredients:
2 red hot chili peppers
2 large garlic cloves
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoon olive oil
500 g russet potatoes (about 2 large ones)
2 tablespoon cornstarch
salt
3 tablespoon cilantro
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Vegetable oil for frying potatoes
Tips:
Lemon juice is optional but if you use it, make sure you add it right before serving the potatoes cause it softens the potatoes as it sits.
