Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 2 medium-sized Potatoes
- 1 medium-sized Onion
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool.
Grate the cooled potatoes using the coarse side of a box grater and set aside.
Peel and finely grate the onion. Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, grated potato, grated onion, crushed garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined and a cohesive mixture forms.
Take a small handful of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) and shape it into a flat, oval-shaped patty, about 1 cm thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Persian Meat Patties warm with flatbread, rice, or salad, and enjoy!
