🥄 Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 kg potatoes
- 10 eggs
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp ghee
- Oil for frying the potatoes
- The same recipe with minced meat:
- 1 kg potatoes
- 10 eggs
- 250 g minced meat
- 1 medium onion (150 g)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ghee
- Oil for frying the potatoes
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preparation Method: The simplest, tastiest, and quickest dish:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Soak them in water for an 1 hour to draw out the starch.
- Fry the potatoes until they are a light golden brown, not brown.
- Heat ghee in a pan suitable for the quantity of potatoes. Heat the ghee over medium heat, then add the potatoes. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. After frying the potatoes for about 3 minutes, add the eggs to the pan over high heat and stir well. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cinnamon to help the eggs adhere and prevent any unpleasant odor from affecting the dish. Stir the mixture until the eggs are fully set.
- For the potato and minced meat version, you only need to prepare the meat with a tablespoon of ghee and sauté the onions. Cover and cook over low heat for about 1.5 hour until the meat is cooked through. Then follow the same steps as for the potato and ghee version.
✨ Chef's Secret
Many women boil potatoes and then toss them with eggs. A tip: fried potatoes have a much better flavor than boiled ones. Similarly, when tossed, the potatoes should be fluffy and not stuck together due to boiling, resulting in a delicious taste. Prepare a salad to go with them, or try cucumber and yogurt with dried mint and garlic.
🌹 Decoration
Garnish the mfarkeh with sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, and chopped parsley.
