Tangy Garlic Potatoes Recipe

During childhood, my brothers and I used to join our uncles and our late grandfather Saleem for harvest in the mountains above their village of Bakarkasha in Lebanon.  Our grandpa was an old-school farmer. He had no machinery, no big toys, just traditional farm tools like shovels and forks.  Some of his land at altitude of 7500 feet was still not accessible by trucks, so we used to walk close to an hour to reach it and carry the harvest back to the village on donkeys.  Donkeys are creatures that we humans can learn a lot from, they are amazingly patient and perseverant.

How to Make Garlic Potatoes

Late summer was usually time to harvest potatoes.  The nice and perfect-looking potatoes were sold at the market or stored for the long cold winter, and the leftovers were typically consumed in the immediate days. Mom used to pick the smaller potatoes out of the pile and prepare for us a garlicky villager dish.  It had no official name, but it was quite simple and made with just potatoes, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, and it is was oh so delicious.  Here it is for you, a favorite for garlic lovers!
