Batata harra means “spicy potatoes” in Arabic, and it is one of the hot dishes that arrive once the cold mezze is on the table. The potatoes are cut into small cubes, fried or roasted until crisp, then tossed in olive oil with a lot of garlic, chili and fresh coriander, and finished with lemon juice.<\/p>\n

You will find it in grill houses and family restaurants all over Lebanon, served next to shish tawook and garlic sauce, and it is just as common at home on a Sunday. What makes it good is the contrast: crunchy edges, soft centers and a sauce that is fresh rather than heavy. The heat is up to you.<\/p>\n
