Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small green chili
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, red chili flakes, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are roasting, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Finely chop the green chili and set aside.
In a small pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped garlic on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
Add the chopped green chili to the garlic and sauté for another minute.
Remove the mixture from heat and add lemon juice.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Pour the garlic, chili, and lemon juice mixture over the potatoes and toss well.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the potatoes before serving.
Serve the Batata Harra hot or at room temperature as a snack or a side dish.
