Libyan Stuffed Potatoes - M'buttin

Ingredients:


Meat mixture
1 lb of ground beef
1 grated onion
1 egg
1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic crushed
2 spoons of breadcrumbs
1 1/2 spoons of tomato paste
1 spoon of ghee

For Frying
3 eggs beaten with a little water
approx 1/2 cup flour
approx 1/3 cup bread crumbs
sliced potatoes
oil for deep frying

Directions:
Peel and wash potatoes. Thinly slice potatoes





Don’t cut all the way through, you want it to still be attached at the end, like a book. Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of water for about 15-20 minutes




Mix all the ingredients for the meat mixture together




Gently open the potato




Stuff with the filling




Smooth it evenly




Fill all the potatoes




Dip the meat end in the bread crumbs




Rub flour over the rest of the potato, covering all of it




Dip the whole potato in the egg mixture




Place the stuffed potato in hot oil




Make sure the oil is hot, it should bubble right away



Fill the pot or pan and deep fry until reddish golden




Remove when done




Drain on a rack or some paper towel




Enjoy!
