Hands down, my most favorite vegetarian dish I’ve ever had is found on the menu at Glasserie. They are a bowl of crisp, deep-fried potato shells dusted with cumin. Perfect with labneh, stewed chick peas, hummus, or whatever floats your boat.

Boil the potatoes until they are fork tender.

Let them cool and split them lengthwise. Scoop out the centers of the potatoes, making sure to leave a few millimeters of margin. Save the scooped potato for another dish.

Turn the oven on its lowest setting and set a pan lined with parchment paper.

Heat up a pot with enough vegetable oil to cover a single layer of potatoes and deep fry on medium heat until they are golden and crisp.

Rest the potato shells on a paper towel to drain the oil. Dust with a little cumin and salt before throwing them in the oven to keep warm. 

Hum a little sea chanty and fill the boats up before bringing them to ruin (in your belly).
