Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red chili pepper seeds removed and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Handful of fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and chopped chili pepper to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt to the pan. Stir well to coat the onions, garlic, and chili with the spices.
  • Add the cooked diced potatoes to the pan and toss them gently to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove the pan from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes. Toss them gently to distribute the lemon juice evenly.
  • Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the potatoes and give it a final toss.
  • Transfer the vegan Egyptian Batata Harra to a serving dish.
  • Serve the Batata Harra hot as a side dish or as a main course with bread or rice.
