Dairy-Free & Nut-Free Batata Harra (Spicy Potatoes)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Potatoes (cubed)
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1.5 lbs of cubed potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes well in a colander.
2. 2Heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). Add the drained, cubed potatoes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3. 3Add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and the 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant.
4. 4Stir in the 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly, allowing the flavors to combine.
5. 5Serve the Batata Harra hot.
