AuthorsefordCategoryAppetizers, Quick mealsDifficultyBeginnerThese Stuffed potato cakes are filled with minced lamb, fresh herbs and onion with an added kick of mint and chili.
To start, finely chop the onion, garlic and herbs.
Heat a medium sized pan and add 2 tsp of oil. Saute the finely chopped onions, garlic and herbs until fragrant.
Once the onions have cooked, toss in the lamb meat, ground spice, Zatar seasoning, Chili and smoked paprika (add salt and pepper to taste).
Finally Remove from the heat, add in the mint jelly and prepare to fill the potato mix.
In a large bowl place the mashed potatoes. Drop in the eggs one at a time until well combined then gradually incorporate the flour (add salt and pepper if needed).
Next, lightly dust your hands with flour and spoon about 1/4 cup of potato mixture into one palm creating a bowl shape. Place 1 tablespoon of lamb mince into the center then pinch the sides together to close.
Here, create a patty shape ensuring the lamb is fully covered then prepare them for frying.
To Fry: Heat a large pan on medium high adding 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is hot carefully place the potato cakes into the pan and cook on medium heat for 7 minutes on each side or at least until golden brown and sides firm up.
Finally, remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before serving. This recipe makes 10 medium sized patties, however you can make them any size you like.
