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 a yummy starter. What makes it absolutely amazing is, it needs just a few spices. As we alway keep a bottle of roasted and grounded cumin and coriander powder. I can make these potato fries in a breeze.
I proceeded to fry these potatoes directly as we need just half a kg of potato for us. But if you plan to make 1 kg or more fries. I recommend half boil potato chunks and then frying. 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 a quick snack with the least steps. And you can easily make ½ kg of fries in two batches while cooking the main course simultaneously.
How to make it?
Wash and peel potatoes. Then cut the potatoes into chunks.
Heat oil in a wok.
Add about half the potatoes to the hot oil. Also, add ¼ teaspoon salt.
Fry potatoes on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then fry for another 2-3 minutes on high heat until golden. (Check tenderness by pricking a fork in one potato chunk.) Then fry the remaining potatoes similarly.
Dry roast red chili flakes, cumin, coriander, and salt in a pan or pot for a few seconds.
Add fried potatoes.
Mix thoroughly. Also, add fresh coriander at this stage and serve.
Enjoy!
