Notes
Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat you can heat in a skillet or a microwave. Traditionally the Lebanese recipe uses waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, but any type of potato works. I actually like russet potatoes because I can get their texture crispier when I saute them in the olive oil. When you sauté make sure to try them in a single layer with enough oil so they cook through. Try not to stir too much but let them get a crispy outer layer on each side. I find this dish to be best enjoyed right away but you can pre-cook the potatoes and then reheat them when you add the eggs in when you are ready to eat the dish.
