INGREDIENTS

• 1 large onion
• 3 eggs
• 5 medium potatoes
• Fresh parsley
• Salt, pepper and turmeric
• Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Wash the potatoes first, then put them into a suitable pot. Then add a few glasses of water to the pot and put it on the heat until the water comes to a boil and the potatoes remain in the boiling water for 45 minutes to cook.

Step 2

After the potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly then remove their skin. Next, grate the potatoes with a large grater, then pour into a large, well-placed bowl.

Step 3

In the next step, peel the onion and grate individually, then gently squeeze them and drain extra water and add it to the bowl containing the potatoes. In the next step, break the eggs into a separate bowl and stir well.

Then add some salt, black pepper and turmeric to the eggs. Adding parsley is optional. If you want to add fresh parsley leaves, add it to the eggs and mix well.

Step 4

Next, add the egg to the potato bowl and mix well. Now the batter is ready and then you need to fry it, put a pan on the heat for this purpose.

Step 5

Pour some oil into the pan and allow the oil to heat up. Drop in a small spoonful of batter; if it sizzles in the oil, the pan is ready. Make small round shape patties or spoon the potato mixture into the oil.

Fry potato patties on both sides until golden brown. Serve with tomatoes, pickle and bread.
