Potato Zhoug
Rinse your potatoes and rub them clean. Put the potato in a large pot and add enough water to cover them and bring them to boil for 10-15 minutes.
Cook until tender. Drain immediately.
Remove the skin, and cut them into half. (this step is optional)
On the heated pan add the potatoes and fry in a low medium flame for 5-7 minutes.
Add the zhoug paste and fry till potatoes are coated well, add 2 to 3 tbsp of water if it is too dry. Switch off and serve warm.
Notes
Any type of potatoes can be used.
If using big potatoes cut into big chunks before boiling.
Removing skin from the potatoes is optional.
Be careful to not overcook your potatoes or you’ll end up with a soggy mess.
