Potato Patties

1/2 lb (226g) Ground Beef
2 Large Potatoes
1 Small Onion
Caraway, Ground chili pepper, salt, coriander, Turmeric
3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
3 Tbsp All purpose Flour
1 Egg
Bread Crumbs
PREPARATIONS:

1- Dice the Onion.
2- Pre-cook the potatoes.
3- Beat one egg.

DIRECTIONS:

1- Fry the onions with vegetable oil in a pot until translucent.
2- Add the Ground beef to the pot and stir well.
3- Add caraway, ground chili pepper, salt and coriander to the pot, stir until well mixed, fry the beef until it loses its redness and is nearly cooked through.
4- Add 1 tbsp tomato paste, and continue to stir fry for 10 minutes.
5- Put the cooked potatoes in a bowl, peel the potatoes, add turmeric and mash the potatoes until well mashed.
6- Now add all purpose flour to the bowl. Adding flour prevents the potato dough from being too sticky to handle.
7- Add the beaten egg to the bowl, it prevents the potato patties from crumbling.
8- Add salt (as preferred) and stir the mixture until well blended.
9- Take a fist full of the potato mixture/dough and pat it flat by hand.
10- Put 1 tbsp of the meat mixture on the flattened potato dough, wrap the potato dough around the meat to shape like a ball, and pinch the edges well to seal.
11- Use the palm of your hand to flatten the patty gently.
12- Lay the patty gently into the breadcrumbs and coat each side with enough to cover the patty surface on both sides.
13- Grease a pan with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and fry the patties over medium heat.

to ensure the potatoes are soft drop them in boiling water for a few minutes and then cool before dipping in the batter...
