Fried Potato Patties

(Original recipe makes 15 patties)

Ingredients:

3 big cooked potatoes, (Not very huge)
Sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. dried dill
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg

Vegetable oil

Directions:

Boil the potatoes in generously salted water until tender. Peel, and mashes them. Let it cool down before adding other ingredients.

Add sea salt, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground black pepper, flour, dried dill, garlic, and egg. Mix all the ingredients very well until you get a sloppy mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper).

Heat some vegetable oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Drop a large spoonful of the potato mixture and flatten gently, or you can shape the mixture in your hand and put it in the oil.

Fry one side of the patty, before turning it over. Check from time to time to make sure you did not burn them. Turn them over and cook for another 5 minutes. Put the patties on a paper towel before transferring them to a serving plate.

My Notes:

• Warning!!! This type of Patty (with boiled potatoes) absorb too much oil. I usually make this recipe with grated raw potatoes, which absorbs less oil (in the future, I will put the second recipe here). 

• For this recipe, I added dried dill. You can also change the taste of the patties with adding other types of herbs (such as dried mint, chives, or parsley) 

• You can serve these patties with tomato slices, pickles, olives, radishes, fresh basil, and bread, or your favorite vegetables. 

• This is one of the best, fast meals for an outside picnic.
