About Batata Harra

Yumna Jawad identifies the double-fried version of batata harra as the traditional Lebanese preparation. Her potatoes are paired with garlic, cilantro, crushed red pepper and olive oil, with lemon offered at serving.

The garlic and fresh cilantro supply the aromatic character, while red pepper brings the warmth described by the author. A squeeze of lemon adds brightness to the savoury potatoes.

The potatoes have crisp, golden surfaces around their tender centres. Fresh cilantro and pepper finish the dish, which is offered hot or warm alongside a mezze spread or grilled meats.
