Rabat – If you love snacks that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, Moroccan Maakouda is about to become your new favorite treat.
Boil potatoes until tender, then let them cool and mash until smooth.
Mix in your favorite spices and a beaten egg, this gives the patties both flavor and a golden coating when fried.
Slowly add flour to create a slightly sticky dough that’s easy to shape without sticking to your hands.
Form small balls of potato dough, flatten them slightly, and dust with flour.
Heat oil to medium and fry the patties until golden brown on both sides.
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to keep them crispy. Drain on paper towels and let them rest for a minute.
Serve hot with harissa, ketchup, or a fresh salad.
