Maakouda
Morocco · Middle East and North Africa
Maakouda are small fried patties made from cooked, mashed potatoes. In Alia’s Moroccan preparation, garlic, parsley, paprika and chilli season the potato mixture. The mixture is shaped into rounds that are dipped in beaten egg and lightly coated with flour before frying.[1]
The fried patties develop a golden surface around a soft potato centre. They can also form a sandwich filling: Alia places them in a baguette with lettuce and tomato, using ketchup or harissa for sauce. The sandwich ingredients are optional accompaniments rather than part of the potato mixture itself.[1]
