Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. red or yellow potatoes (4-5 medium), peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 5 cardamom pods, seeds removed from husks
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon brown or black mustard seeds
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Crush the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, toast cumin, coriander and cardamom seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Transfer to a spice mill or mortar and pestle; grind to a powder. Add turmeric and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add yellow and brown or black mustard seeds and cover the pan; when the seeds start to pop, remove the pan from the heat and let stand until the popping ceases. Uncover the pan and return to low heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, jalapenos, ginger and the reserved spice mixture and sauté for 2 minutes more. Stir in water and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in peas, mint and lemon juice and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.

Batata Harra

These Lebanese spicy potatoes are an obsession! Traditionally deep-fried, we achieve wonderful results roasting the potatoes to a beautiful golden brown. Your choice of potato can vary however your tastes may dictate! I love russet potatoes for this dish for their delicate flavor and fluffy texture. They are also often quite large, which make it easier to peel them and cut even cubes.
