Coming to the second day under Lebanese Cuisine I wanted to cook Mezze , a variety of flavorful hot and cold dishes, which is an important part of the Lebanese diet. As many as forty small dishes are presented at once as either appetizers or as a meal itself. Obviously I did not think of 40 dishes but a spread yes !

Since I am off so many things I changed my mind and decided to cook something that I could eat and I made these cubes of golden fried potato, seasoned with coriander, garlic and lemon. The original recipe asked for deep fried potatoes but I boiled the potatoes , sprayed some oil and put them in an air fryer . They were as good as fried , nice golden and crisp . You can deep fry these potatoes or roast them in a oven too . I know one can’t ever go wrong with potatoes and trust me these were very addictive . Try for yourself !

Ingredients

500 gms boiled potatoes , cut in cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
6-8 cloves garlic, crushed
3-4 green chilly chopped

Method

Preheat oven / air fryer to 200 degrees.
Spray about 1 tsp oil and sprinkle salt .
Place them in a air fryer or oven if you wish .
Roast the potatoes till golden.
Toss these after about 10 minutes.
I took about 25 minutes in an air fryer and an oven too would take about the same time
Heat oil in a pan and add the crushed garlic and green chilly.
Let them turn golden.
Add the roasted potatoes and toss.
Add coriander leaves and lemon juice .
