Persian potato cake

Ingredients for Persian potato pancakes are: 400g potatoes, 3 eggs, 1 medium onion, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tbsp parsley or dill, salt, pepper, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 2 tbsp flour, 6 tablespoons oil for frying.

Peel and grate the raw potatoes. Drain the whole mass in a sieve. The mass should remain juicy. Do not dry or squeeze the juice of the potatoes!

Finely chop the onions and garlic. Mix all ingredients together. Now you can put oil in a pan and wait until it gets really hot.


Now you can put the potato mixture in the pan, evenly distribute and smooth. To make it crispier, the potato cake is divided into 4 equal pieces.

Now put the heat on the middle stage and cover the whole thing. If you see that this side is fried, you turn the potato cake and fry it on this side.

As a side dish is recommended a salad or as it is common in Germany apple compote.
