Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Lebanese
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1/2 cup dried cilantro leaves
  • 5-8 large fresh garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • dash of salt

Instructions
 

  • Slice the potatoes into small cubes of about 3/4 inch with a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Fry them in oil until they are golden/crispy (or alternatively bake them in the oven until they're crispy). Salt them lightly.
  • Meanwhile rinse the cilantro leaves then discard the stems, and chop the leaves very finely. Lay the leaves on a paper towel for a few minutes to dry the water from them.
  • In a deep frying pan, add the crushed garlic then saute it on medium heat in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil just for a couple of minutes. You want the garlic to stay a bit raw, not fully cooked, or otherwise if you overcook the garlic it looses its flavor
  • Add a tiny pinch of salt, then add the chopped cilantro and the lemon juice to the garlic and saute/mix them well for a minute or two.
  • Finally add the fried potatoes to the pot, mix it well with the saute and cook it for 3-5 more minutes while stirring, and you're done.
  • Serve hot or cold as an appetizer.

Notes

If you love spicy food, finely chop a bit of green jalapeno or Serrano peppers and add them during the cilantro saute
