INGREDIENTS
4 large potatoes
1 cup vegetable oil for frying potatoes
5 fresh garlic cloves, crushed with a pinch of salt
A dash of salt (as desired)
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (optional)
1 bunch green fresh coriander
3 tbsp. olive oil
PREPARATION
Slice potatoes into small cubes, wash and drain.
Fry potatoes in hot vegetable oil until golden brown, place on absorbent paper.
Meanwhile, rinse the coriander leaves and don’t miss to keep the stems as they are very healthy, put on a clean piece of cloth to dry the water from them. then chop finely.
In a deep frying pan add the crushed garlic then sauté it on medium heat in the 3 tbsp. of olive oil just for a few minutes. You want the garlic to stay a bit raw, not fully cooked, or otherwise if you overcook the garlic loses its flavor.
Add a tiny pinch of salt, then add the chopped coriander to the garlic and sauté/mix them well for a minute or two.
Finally, add the fried potatoes to the pot, mix it well and cook it for 3 to 5 more minutes while stirring and you’re done.
Serve hot or cold as an appetizer.
Note: if you love spicy food, you can add the ground 1/2 tsp. red pepper
