Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Potatoes
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 250 ml Vegetable oil
- 500 ml Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add two eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and freshly chopped parsley. Mix until combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small round patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Coat each patty in breadcrumbs and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato patties in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the patties are frying, prepare the sauce. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down.
Add 500 ml of water to the pot and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Carefully add the fried potato patties to the sauce, ensuring they are submerged. Let them cook in the sauce for another 10 minutes on low heat to absorb the flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley, alongside crusty bread or rice.
