There is nothing better in this world than a fresh, crispy potato. It is even better when coated in a garlicky herby salsa.

There is nothing better in this world than a fresh, crispy potato. It is even better when coated in a garlicky herby salsa. Batata harra translates literally to “spicy potatoes” and is a well-known mezze that is usually served as a platter for guests. Traditionally, these cubed potatoes are deep-fried, but I love to air fry them, as it is less messy and cuts down on the oil. Alternatively, you can just as easily oven roast them. In this recipe, there are two steps: the first is cooking the potatoes and the second is creating a saucy salsa for the potatoes to be tossed in, to soak up its lemony and garlicky goodness. This is truly a must-try potato dish that elevates a regular roasted potato and makes a great side to any main dish.   Credit: Reprinted with permission from Yalla, Let’s Eat! by Maha Kailani.
