Cutlet (Persian style)



Ingredients:

Ground beef or turkey (reduced fat) 1 pound
Potatoes 1 pound
Bread crumbs 1 cup
Egg 1 medium
Onion 1 medium
Turmeric 1 tsp
Salt 2 tsp
Oil for frying

Directions:

You may use baked or raw potatoes (making cutlet wit raw potatoes is easier but cutlet which is made by baked potatoes is more delicious)

Shred Potatoes (either baked or raw) and onion using a kitchen shredder.
Mix all ingredients (except oil) and massage with hand to make sure that all are mixed very well.

Put a nonstick pan on heat add about 3 tbsp oil and let the oil get hot.
Make a small ball with your mixture, about size of a large walnut. Put it in your hand and using your other hand press on it and make it flat (Circle or oval shape)
Put in hot oil fry both sides. Any time through frying you may add some oil when it needs, but do not use too much oil from the beginning.
Enjoy!
