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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool.
Step 2
Grate the cooled potatoes using the coarse side of a box grater and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely grate the onion. Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined and a cohesive mixture forms.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 9
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve the Persian Meat Patties warm with flatbread, rice, or salad, and enjoy!
