  • Russet potatoes, thinly sliced with the peel on
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp feta cheese
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ½ tsp fresh pepper, crushed
  • 1 tbsp finely sliced chives
Instructions
  1. First prepare the potato stack.
  2. Wash the potatoes well and dry them. Thinly slice with the skin on and add it in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, parmesan, pepper, salt and use your hands to separate each potato slice and completely coat it with the cheese pepper mix.
  3. Brush your muffin tin with some oil and arrange 10 or so of the potato slices in a muffin pan and press very very well. Bake it at 400 degrees for 45- minutes to an hour. Take it out and set aside.
  4. On medium heat, add oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds and let it pop. Add the chopped onion and fry them until it is golden brown and caramalized. Add the whole jar of harissa paste and mix well. If you use fresh harissa from my blog, dilute it with 1 cup of water and use.
  5. Add the cooked chickpeas and check for salt. Add 1 cup of water. Season and let it boil for 10 minutes.
  6. Switch off the heat. Serve it with couple of stacks of potato, top with some cheese and herbs.
