Lebanese Spicy Potatoes (Batata Harra)

potatoes

olive oil (divided)

garlic

red pepper (divided)

cilantro (divided)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place the potatoes on the baking sheet in one layer, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top and season with salt. Roast until the potatoes reach a golden brown color and crisp, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small pan. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper and half the cilantro. Sauté until the garlic is golden in color, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.

Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer the garlic mixture on top of the potatoes and toss with the remaining cilantro and the red pepper flakes.

Serve hot or warm with a squeeze of lemon juice on top, if desired

It is a great recipe! My husband is from Syria, we live in Canada, but I got used to cooking Arabic food mainly as I love it so much myself (Ukrainian by origin). I loved it how my mother-in-law used to buy chili paste from Syrian shops in Dubai and cook it that way. It's so similar! I love how you add lemon to it, and I drink it with kefir! I don't need any meat if I have this! Thank you for another great addition to our meals.

I have made these and used them in wraps with shishtawook and garlic sauce and hummus. Also added red onion and red cabbage. These are delicious. I'm hoping to try to make homemade garlic sauce(toum) soon. These recipes are so easy to follow my success is almost guaranteed.

These potatoes are fantastic— lemon juice is a must.  I added the lemon juice after the spices.

Hey! :) 
How many grams/Oz or cups are eight medium potatoes? And for how many people is it for? 
Thanks in advance!

Couldn’t keep them around long enough to take photo. No leftovers for breakfast like I’d planned. Gonna take a screenshot in case the page goes away. Thank you
