This recipe makes 1 medium bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet Potatoes
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 cloves of Garlic (Crushed)
- 1/2 bunch of Cilantro (Chopped)
- 1 Jalapeno (optional)
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- Salt
Making the Batata Harra
I started by cutting my potatoes into 1/2 by 1/2 inch cubes (1.5 by 1.5 cm) cubes. I then placed the potatoes in a pan and covered them in water. I then turned on the heat to medium and left them on the stove until the water started to boil. I removed them at that point and deep fried them. In a separate skillet, I placed my butter and oil on medium heat. When the butter melted, I placed my Jalapeno and cooked it for 5 minutes then added my garlic and chopped cilantro and cooked for another 2 minutes. By that point, the potatoes have been fried and removed from the oil. I added them to the skillet and mixed everything together. I then added my paprika, coriander powder, and salt. I mixed everything together and turned off the heat. I finally added my lemon juice and mixed it in and let it rest for a couple of minutes until the potatoes have absorbed the lemon juice and became acidic.
This is a lovely side dish, when we make it and invite people, no matter how much I make, nothing is left at the end of the night. Try it and let me know what you think 🙂
Enjoy!
