Instructions
Prepare potatoes Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
Mix Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
Shape Allow the mixture to cool slightly, so it's easier to handle. Then, shape the mixture into small patties or round balls.
Heat oil for frying Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Dip Dip each potato patty into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
Fry Carefully place the coated patties into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
Set Once the Makouda patties are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat Repeat the process with the remaining potato patties.
Serve Serve the Makouda hot as a snack or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of harissa sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
