Baked Potato Salad, Middle Eastern Style
Description:
Joni G sent me some shoarma mix from Israel, so I’ve been trying different ways to use it. This one worked really well (as did the roast of lamb I coated with it). Pets’r’us has a shaorma mix recipe on Z ‘Zaar (#44858) if you want to try this but can’t get the mix. Prep time doesn’t include cooling the potatoes.
