Potato Kofta with Ground Meat Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1/2 kg ground beef or lamb
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Squeeze the grated potatoes to remove excess moisture.
   • In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with half of the chopped onions, one minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper.

2. Prepare the Meat Mixture:

   • In another bowl, combine the ground meat with the remaining onions, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Form the Koftas:

   • Take a small amount of the potato mixture and flatten it in your hand.
   • Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center and carefully wrap the potato around it, forming an oval-shaped kofta.
   • Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.

4. Cook the Koftas:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the koftas until they are golden brown on all sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
   • Once cooked, place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the potato koftas hot with a side of tahini sauce or your favorite dip.
   • Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
