- 15 small golden potatoes peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 scallions/green onions including the green part
- Handful chopped parsley
- Handful chopped dill
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baharat
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- Oil for frying
In a large pot place the peeled potatoes with salt and cover with water.
On medium heat boil the potatoes for about 25 minutes until they start to soften. Drain and place in a bowl.
Using a potato masher, roughly mash the potatoes so it’s still chunky. Add green onions, parsley, dill, black pepper, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, baharat, eggs, and flour. Mix well.
Using a deep saute pan pour oil to ¼-inch depth. Heat over medium high heat.
Using a tablespoon, make patties from the mixture and fry them on the pan for 2-3 minutes from each side until they are golden.
Place the Aruk patties on a nice plate with fresh vegetables and serve hot.
