Sumac is a spice that is ground from the berries of the Sumac flower. It’s red, lemony, and very tangy. Sumac is used in a lot of Lebanese recipes such as fattoush, Zaatar, and as a dry rub. It is distinctively sour and can be used instead of lemon juice.
– 3 large potatoes โฃ
– 1 tablespoon sumac โฃ
– Vegetable oil for frying โฃ
– 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil โฃ
– Salt to taste โฃ
– Fresh cilantro for decorating โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
The How:โฃ
โฃ
Peel and dice the potatoes then wash and dry very well with paper towels. โฃ
โฃ
Place a wok over medium-high heat, add enough vegetable oil to deep fry the potato cubes. I like frying in a wok, but you do you and fry in whatever sparks joy. โฃ
โฃ
Fry the potato cubes in batches until golden. Remove and drain on paper-towels. โฃ
โฃ
Once they have all been fried, place a large frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and the potatoes, toss until the potatoes become crunchy. The olive oil here is for flavor and crunch. โฃ
โฃ
Turn the heat off, sprinkle with the sumac and salt. โฃ
โฃ
Decorate with cilantro and serve on toothpicks.
