Ingredients

500g cyprus / white potatoes, peeled

2 medium brown onions, coarsely grated / finely chopped in the food processor

1 large egg

100g white bread, blitzed in food processor to fine breadcrumbs (luse GF)

500g chicken thigh fillets, blitzed in food processor until mince-like

50g fresh flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped / blitzed in food processor

1 tosp dried mint

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp pul biber

1 tsp fine sea salt

1 tsp coarse black pepper

Directions

Finely grate potatoes into a medium-sized bowl and squeeze liquid out of the potatoes, but do not throw liquid away. Add the strained grated potato to a large bowl then whisk the egg into the reserved starchy potato liquid in the medium bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to the liquid and stir so they are soaked and swell up. This will keep the insides of the köfte lovely and soft once cooked.

Add all the ingredients to the large bowl with the grated potatoes in and mix really well until fully combined. If you have time, refrigerate for 30 mins to firm up to make them easier to shape.

Using wet hands (to prevent mixture from sticking to them), form into 40 flattened rugby ball shaped patties.
