Batata Harra With Ras El Hanout image

This recipe says "by Martin". Here's what Martin says: "What could possibly be better than good old British chips? Try this. It makes the humble chip seem dowdy and pale. Maybe it's over familiarity that's making me cheat on our national dish. Batata Harra is like the dashing foreign exchange student who turns up at school, blows smoke in your face and instantly gets off with the girl you've been lusting after since the summer before last. Chips can't be expected to compete with that. As if it possibly needed to get any more exotic and unchiplike, this recipe adds ras el hanout - a random, fragrant Moroccan spice mix - to the equation. The ras el hanout I used was the genuine article, kindly sourced from Marrakech by Kim, but unless you're off to Morocco on holiday soon you might have to settle for the supermarket version. It'll still be nice." I think that I like Martin. It's out of: Kittsy's Cookbook

This dish was a bit too oily for me. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes didn't come out crispy at all. They were still delicious, but not what I was expecting.
