Batata Harra is a Lebanese version of oven roasted potatoes with lots of spices that are lightly sautéed in olive oil . Batata Harra literally means spicy potatoes. I recently posted a recipe for Red Pepper Falafel and Batata Harra accompanied that for a full Middle-Eastern inspired dinner when paired with Hummus and Tzatziki. On its own it works as a great appetiser. I generally love potatoes in the form of wedges and Batata Harra in my opinion is quite similar albeit more spicy and flavoursome.
