Moroccan potato cakes are seasoned with cumin, onions, garlic, and cilantro. Serve them as a side, appetizer, or sandwich filler.

Categories     Appetizer     Breakfast     Brunch     Dinner     Lunch     Side Dish     Snack

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds potatoes (relatively the same size, peeled)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic (pressed)
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 eggs (beaten)
Olive oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Gather the peeled potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover with salted water and boil just until a sharp knife can be inserted halfway through.
  • Drain the potatoes and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again, and allow to cool a bit. Chill the potatoes, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small skillet. Add the onion and sauté gently over medium-low heat for 7 to 10 minutes, or until translucent.
  • Add the garlic and sauté a minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
  • Grate the chilled potatoes into a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the onion and garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, pepper, turmeric, and cilantro. Stir in enough of the eggs to bind the potatoes but not so much that there is excess egg in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Shape the potato mixture into cakes about 3 inches in diameter. Wet hands will make the mixture easier to handle.
  • Heat enough olive oil to generously cover the bottom of a skillet or griddle. Add the potato cakes and cook slowly over medium heat, about about 8 minutes per side, or until deep golden-brown and crisp. Serve the maakouda warm.

MOROCCAN STREET POTATO CAKES



Moroccan Street Potato Cakes image

These are very inexpensive and generally sold as street food to be eaten on the street as an egg and potato sandwich stuffed into flatbread with a thin sauce tomatish or purchased and brought home. I have spoken to a couple of my favorite vendors and have come up with this authentic recipe. I adore the egg and potato sandwiches and also love these cakes simply dipped into sauce tomatish and eaten as is. This is poor man's food and sells for 5-10DH ($.70) a sandwich depending on how many eggs and potatoes you want in your sandwich. One of my favorites comes from a man with a table, frying pan, 5 litre jug of oil, a single gas burner, flats of eggs, stacks of bread and rows of potato cakes with bottles of sauce tomatish which his wife makes for him at home each morning to sell. Many of these vendors appear only late at night when all other places to eat have closed. Don't be tempted to use eggs to bind these or they will cease to be Moroccan potato cakes. Easy and yummy comfort food! These are also often eaten at room temperature and/or a bit cold though not from the fridge cold. c.2005

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups mashed potatoes, warm and plain
3 garlic cloves, mashed or 3 garlic, pressed
1/2 cup scallion, cut lengthwise and sliced thinly
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
flour, for dusting
oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Mix all but flour and oil together in a large bowl.
  • Form 16 patties using 1/4 cup of the mix to about 1/3 inch thick. Use floured hands if necessary.
  • Coat each patty with the flour, hitting to knock off any excess of flour.
  • Shallow fry in vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat until deep golden brown.
  • If you need to, you can refrigerate the floured patties to cook off an hour or so later or for ease in handling if you have difficulty. I have not found the need to do either.
  • These are a simple cake and not meant to be fancy; just really tasty. You can also replace the scallions with onions if you have no scallions. In Morocco and The Maghreb, we use what we have and don't worry about what we don't have. Fresh garlic is the best alternative you can use though as we don't have dried powdered here.
