Fried Potatoes recipe, Arabic Style with photos.
These fries are served as a starter in Lebanon and Yemen. So, I named them Arabic.
These are super easy and yummy fries. We have it as a side with roasted Mutton or with Pulao or mandi.
This can also make yummy starter. What makes it absolute amazing is, it needs just few spices. As we alway keep a bottle of roasted and grounded cumin and corriander powder. I can make these potato fries in a breeze.
I proceeded to fry these potatoes directly as we need just half kg of potato for us. But if you plan to make 1 kg or more fries. I recommend to half boil potatoes chunks and then fry. As it takes some to fry raw potatoes and doing it in many batches will be cumbersome.
I avoided the boiling step as we all need quick snack with least steps. And you can easily make ½ kg fries in two batches while cooking a main course simultaneously.
