Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 4 pieces Moroccan-style bread (khobz) or crusty sandwich rolls

Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for 12–15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs and slice them into rounds. Set aside.
Mince the garlic, parsley, and cilantro finely.
In a bowl, mash the cooked potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Mix in cumin, paprika, turmeric, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Slice the Moroccan bread or rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Spread a spoonful of the spiced potato mixture on the bottom half of each piece of bread.
Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top of the potato mixture.
Optional: Add a dollop of harissa or a few pickled vegetables for extra flavor and texture.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the bread. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Moroccan-inspired snack!
