OVEN-BAKED POTATO SLICES
I created this recipe by accident. After already starting dinner one night I realized I didn't have enough potatoes on hand to make mashed, so I improvised and came up with these baked potato slices. It's quick and easy and they are delicious. Just line your cookie sheet with nonstick foil and clean up is a snap! Enjoy!

- Place the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil; swirl to coat wok, and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, about 15 minutes.

MOROCCAN INSPIRED BAKED POTATO SLICES
I enjoy coming up with different types of oven fries to satisfy my craving for fries while still staying within the ranges of my low fat diet. This is my most recent creation. My husband went 'mmmm' when he tasted the first one. So, i am thinking it is worth posting and sharing :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice the potatoes into fairly thin but not ultra thin slices. I usually aim to make them about half the width of my fingernail. Leave the skin on for extra goodness and taste.
- In a large bowl combine the oil, the spices, the lemon juice and zest. Mince your garlic and also put that in the bowl. However, I suggest actually grating your peeled garlic into the bowl. I use a microplane grater for this and I think it gives the garlic more punch in the mix.
- Put the potato slices into the bowl and mix everything around so that all of the slices get well coated.
- Line a baking tray with foil (I do this even with my non-stick ones for easy cleanup) and transfer the slices to the tray.
- Put in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until they start to go golden brown.
- Serve.

MOROCCAN STREET POTATO CAKES
These are very inexpensive and generally sold as street food to be eaten on the street as an egg and potato sandwich stuffed into flatbread with a thin sauce tomatish or purchased and brought home. I have spoken to a couple of my favorite vendors and have come up with this authentic recipe. I adore the egg and potato sandwiches and also love these cakes simply dipped into sauce tomatish and eaten as is. This is poor man's food and sells for 5-10DH ($.70) a sandwich depending on how many eggs and potatoes you want in your sandwich. One of my favorites comes from a man with a table, frying pan, 5 litre jug of oil, a single gas burner, flats of eggs, stacks of bread and rows of potato cakes with bottles of sauce tomatish which his wife makes for him at home each morning to sell. Many of these vendors appear only late at night when all other places to eat have closed. Don't be tempted to use eggs to bind these or they will cease to be Moroccan potato cakes. Easy and yummy comfort food! These are also often eaten at room temperature and/or a bit cold though not from the fridge cold. c.2005

Steps:
- Mix all but flour and oil together in a large bowl.
- Form 16 patties using 1/4 cup of the mix to about 1/3 inch thick. Use floured hands if necessary.
- Coat each patty with the flour, hitting to knock off any excess of flour.
- Shallow fry in vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat until deep golden brown.
- If you need to, you can refrigerate the floured patties to cook off an hour or so later or for ease in handling if you have difficulty. I have not found the need to do either.
- These are a simple cake and not meant to be fancy; just really tasty. You can also replace the scallions with onions if you have no scallions. In Morocco and The Maghreb, we use what we have and don't worry about what we don't have. Fresh garlic is the best alternative you can use though as we don't have dried powdered here.

Tips:
- For a crispier potato slice, slice the potatoes thinly and bake them in a single layer.
- To make sure the potatoes are evenly cooked, flip them halfway through the baking time.
- If you want to add more flavor to the potatoes, try tossing them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking.
- You can also add your favorite herbs and spices to the potatoes for extra flavor.
- If you don't have harissa, you can substitute another spicy sauce, such as sriracha or chili sauce.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after baking, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Moroccan-inspired baked potato slices are an easy and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the harissa sauce adds a spicy and flavorful kick. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
