  • Handful chopped parsley
  • Handful chopped dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • 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.
