How To Make lebanese spicy potatoes (batata harra)

• 
  Step 1
  Cube your potatoes, I used 2 1/2 medium sized potatoes for just over 3 cups.
• 
  Step 2
  Bring a pot of water to a boil, the potatoes the potatoes and boil for 10 minutes with 1 teaspoon of salt added. Remove potatoes and drain.
• 
  Step 3
  Prep the other ingredients while the potatoes are boiling. Shown here my garlic, cilantro, chili paste (one 1 teaspoon of that was used, a small bag lasts a while), and the lime juice. I use lime juice as it is everywhere, lemon juice on the other hand is not that easy to find, they can be used interchangeably.
• Step 4
  Take drained potatoes and fry in oil, drain potatoes on paper towels. (I actually forgot this step but the potatoes turned out perfect.)
• 
  Step 5
  Heat olive oil in a non stick, large skillet, add garlic and chili paste, cook for just a minute or then add cilantro and lemon (lime) juice, cook for a few minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  Add the potatoes. The potatoes will cook through and the liquid will be absorbed.
• 
  Step 7
  Cook until starting to browned, when the liquid is absorbed, the potatoes will be tender. Ready to serve. This is an excellent side dish.
