This dish consists of fried potatoes and eggs, blended with some sugar and saffron.
Ingredients:
7 medium size potatoes or 3 cups of cooked and graded potatoes
3 eggs
3-4 tablespoons sugar
1/3 teaspoon powdered saffron dissolved in a tablespoon of hot water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil
Method:
Wash, scrub and rinse potatoes. Place potatoes in a large pot and pour enough water to cover them plus an extra inch of water. Cook for about 30-40 minutes until the center of the potatoes are well cooked. When an inserted knife comes out clean, drain and set aside to cool.
Peel and grind potatoes, add salt, eggs, liquid saffron and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
Set aside for 20 minutes before frying.
In a non-stick frying pan heat some oil. When oil is hot take a small scoop of the batter and make it into a round or oval shape, flatten and gently place in hot oil. Fry on both sides.
Serve warm with plain yogurt, herbs and bread.
Enjoy!
