Batata harra

Method

1. 1 Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain.
2. 2 Fry or bake the potatoes in olive oil for 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3. 3 Chop the garlic, fresh chili peppers, and cilantro; sauté the garlic in a pan for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. 4 Add the potatoes to the pan, sprinkle with red chili powder and salt, and stir-fry quickly for 2 minutes over high heat.
5. 5 Turn off the heat, squeeze in the lemon juice, sprinkle with cilantro, stir well, and serve hot.
