Salt and pepper to taste

Comments from olga :

In Damascus, traditional dishes, like this one, prepared in the home, and rarely revealed to outsiders. From ancient times, when new products were introduced--in this case, the potato--the Damascenes have taken them as their own. If you like garlic this dish is highly addictive. Thoom goes well with all types of foods and makes a scrumptious dip, especially with Arabic bread (pita).
