Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 3

Mince the garlic, parsley, and cilantro finely.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Slice the Moroccan bread or rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 6

Spread a spoonful of the spiced potato mixture on the bottom half of each piece of bread.

Step 7

Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top of the potato mixture.

Step 8

Optional: Add a dollop of harissa or a few pickled vegetables for extra flavor and texture.

Step 9

Close the sandwiches with the top half of the bread. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Moroccan-inspired snack!
