I had a little trouble getting the potatoes to cook evenly (I don't have a deep fryer). Next time I'll add the cilantro nearer to the end to properly capture its flavour. Otherwise, yummy.

This is delicious. Instead of deep frying, I simply sauted the potatoes first in a little olive oil. When they were nearly done I added the cilanto (only used about 1/4) and garlic and continued to saute. Then added cumin, lemon, and salt. Fabulous flavors! Thanks!

very bland. i thought the cilantro would make a big difference but it did not. if i tried this recipe again, i would bake the patatoes and let the seasons meld during the baking. otherwise, it just was not very good. i found myself pouring salt on them to liven up the flavors. it didn't work.

ABERSOWL, You're right on the money. "Meh" was the general consensus around here. I did cut the cilantro... I Mean, I LOVE cilantro, but TWO CUPS? That's outrageous.

I LOVE the unique, delicious flavors of this dish ! To cook the potatoes & cut down on the grease and prep-time, I took the new potatoes, poked holes in them w/ a fork and microwaved them (5+ minutes). Then i cut them into quarters and continued with the sauce as written, including the cumin and lemon. I love it.

Great side dish and super easy! I baked my cut potatoes as another reviewer suggested for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. I sprinkled a little olive oil on them first. The lemon juice is good but not necessary.

I am Syrian and my mom makes these potatoes all the time. To prevent the potatoes from getting soggy, let the potatoes drain and cool completely--that way they'll be dry and won't become soggy when you add them to sauce. We don't use cumin or lemon juice, but add just a little olive oil when cooking the garlic/cilantro mixture.

I REALLY liked this recipe. I cut the potatoes and cooked them like you would fries and added a little more garlic tha called for after i tossed the fries in the garlic cilantro mix i sprinkled fresh ground garlic salt over them and tossed them again. It was wonderful! My husband was a little wary to try them but once he did, he LOVED them!

Our dish didn't come out like the photo at all, but still tasty. We're going to try it again and work on the presentation. How do you keep the potatoes from browning and asure they are fully cooked? Thanks for the recipe.

Tooooo much cilantro. Even my boyfriend who loves cilantro said there was too much, and I only put half the amount the recipe called for. Yuck
