Batata Harra - Spicy Potatoes

Hey Nichole, we appreciate your reminder to support important causes and the inspiration behind recipes. This recipe is a celebration of Batata Harra and the rich culinary traditions of Lebanon. We deeply respect and appreciate the cultural inspiration behind it, as we hoped to describe in the “info” tab of the recipe.

We also strongly believe in contributing to humanitarian efforts. Every year, we donate to organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (IRC) and Doctors Without Borders, which provide critical support in regions affected by conflict and crisis. My sister has worked on the ground with both organizations in Gaza, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible work they do. Thank you for your comment and for shedding light on the importance of supporting those in need.

Hey friend! Our medium-sized potatoes are around 130 grams each. For dried parsley, we haven't tested it out but imagine you could start with around 1 tablespoon (3 grams) for 4 servings. You can always add more to taste if you'd like 🤗

Hey Kira, thanks for the request! In case it helps in the meantime, batata harra pairs nicely with falafels other patties such as lentil-based patties, our chickpea & eggplant fatteh, and lebanese tabbouleh. You can also pair it with grilled or steamed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or mushrooms and protein sides like spiced chickpeas or lentils.

As for dips, we made a dip that was ¼ cup tahini, 3 Tbsp water, ½ lemon juiced - it does have a very pronounced tahini taste though, so if tahini isn't your jam a simple sriracha mayo - or better yet chipotle mayo - would pair nicely with these potatoes 🙌✨

Mmm sounds lovely, Linda - so glad it was enjoyed 🙌

Hehe love it when we can enjoy every last crumb of a recipe, Sara! Thank you ☺️

Hi Noussaïba, we made a dip that was ¼ cup tahini, 3 Tbsp water, ½ lemon juiced - it does have a very pronounced tahini taste though, so if tahini isn't your jam a simple sriracha mayo (or better yet chipotle mayo) would pair nicely with these potatoes :)

Thank you for answering! I'll try next time I'll do the recipe. :)

Hey Asami, we just combined some tahini and lemon juice in a bowl to make a very simple dip! 😊
