Kookoo Sibzamini in oven

Ingredients

• Potatoes (Medium) – 4
• Eggs – 2
• Garlic cloves – 2
• Small onion – 1
• Vegetable oil – 3 tbsp (for greasing)
• Dried parsley – 1 tbsp
• Turmeric – 1 tsp
• Black pepper – ½ tsp
• Salt – 2 tsp

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a pot with three cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
• Boil the potatoes for about 30 minutes or until they are tender.

Step 2: Cool and Peel

• After boiling, drain the water and let the potatoes cool down. Once cooled, peel the potatoes completely.

Step 3: Grate the Ingredients

• Grate the cooled potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
• Peel and finely grate the garlic cloves and onion, then add them to the potatoes.

Step 4: Add Seasonings

• To the potato mixture, add the dried parsley, turmeric, black pepper, and the remaining salt.
• Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Beat the Eggs

• In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until smooth.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the potato mixture and blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 6: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Lightly grease a baking dish or baking tray with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Shape the Kookoo

• Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small patties, about the size of a large walnut.
• Place each patty on the greased baking dish, flattening slightly with your hand.

Step 8: Bake

• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• After 10-12 minutes, flip the patties to ensure even baking.
• Once they are golden and crisp on both sides, remove them from the oven.

Step 9: Serve

• Serve the Kookoo Sibzamini warm, accompanied by fresh bread or as a side dish.
