My grandmother often made it on special occasions alongside shish barak and kibbeh bil Laban; the memories came flooding back, a recipe worth keeping alive, it is hearty enough to eat it alone but works well to serve it with Lebanese rice and vermicelli, it is long been linked to comfort food.

Lebanese-Style Mashed Potato Salad This mayonnaise-free Lebanese mashed potato salad with a garlic, dried mint, lemon juice and olive oil is a flavorsome salad or side I grew up eating, it is a simple, flavorful, nutritious and perfect for summer barbecues. It’s the ultimate easy, flexible summer side dish, and I have a feeling you are going to love every bite. Ready to cook up your new favorite approach to mashed potatoes? Let’s get started. Meantime, you are going to make a dressing to be added to the mashed potatoes, and that’s where flavor comes in. No butter and cream is involved, you are going to mix up some lemon juice and olive oil and dried mint and that’s what you are going to mash those tender potatoes with. Olive oil provides a rich, smooth fat base, lemon juice adds sharp brightness to cut through that richness, and garlic adds a deep, savory punch, but the deeper flavor notes come from dried mint.
