The Best Pan Fried Turkish Potatoes
These Turkish potatoes are the perfect side dish. They're zesty from the lemon juice and slightly spicy from the hot pepper flake. The potatoes are pan fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The potatoes are then topped with fresh parsley and dill for the perfect finish.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 yellow potatoes peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ lemon squeezed
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- ¼ cup fresh dill
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is heated, add potatoes and garlic then season with salt and pepper generously. Add turmeric, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the potatoes are well seasoned on all sides.
- Cook potatoes on low to medium-low heat for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally, about every 5-7 minutes. You want to leave the potatoes to cook with enough time to develop a crust.
- At the 25-minute mark, add ½ fresh lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Let cook on low to medium low for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and top with fresh parsley and fresh dill. Serve immediately.
