The Best Pan Fried Turkish Potatoes
These Turkish potatoes are the perfect side dish. They're zesty from the lemon juice and slightly spicy from the hot pepper flake. The potatoes are pan fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The potatoes are then topped with fresh parsley and dill for the perfect finish.
