Cooking Instructions

50 mins
  1. 1

    Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them very well. Let cool.

  2. 2

    When the mashed potatoes are cool enough, mix in egg, flour, salt and pepper. Keep aside.

  3. 3

    To prepare the meat stuffing, heat the oil in a large saucepan then fry the onion until it becomes soft. Mix in the ground meat and garlic, and cook over high heat until the meat begins to brown.

  4. 4

    Add in the tomatoes, all-spice, parsley and salt and stir well then cover and simmer over low heat until the mixture is relatively dry ( 15 minutes ).

  5. 5

    Measure 2 tablespoons of the potato mix and flatten them in the palm of your hand. Then place 2 teaspoons of meat stuffing in the center and fold the potato mix around it. Shape into a ball and place aside.

  6. 6

    Repeat with remaining potato mixture (dip your hand slightly in water each time you start forming a new ball, to prevent the potatoes from sticking).

  7. 7

    Coat the potato balls by rolling them in flour then flatten with your hands to form thick cakes.

  8. 8

    Heat the oil in a pan and fry the potato cakes in it while turning them until they become golden on both sides ( 3 minutes ).

  9. 9

    Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
