Meat Cutlets

These meat cutlets  are very easy to make, eat and serve. They could be served hot or cold. Cutlets are served as an appetizer, as a side dish, or they make a great pita sandwich. They are perfect picnic and party food. Great with Tzatziki Sauce!

Directions:

1- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add some salt, and cook until a fork easily goes through them. Peel and mash them in a large bowl.

3- Add ground beef, eggs, onion, flour, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.  Mix to incorporate spices.

4- Heat up cooking oil in a frying pan.

5- Take a small amount of the mixture and form round balls out of them and flatten them out in your hand then place the patties you have formed into the frying pan. Fry each patties over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
