Method:

Grate the potatoes on to a tea towel. Twist the towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer the potato to a large bowl.

Grate or finely chop the onion and add to the grated potato. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the minced lamb, flour, parsley, coriander, cumin and seasoning to taste.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the lamb and potato mixture in amounts of 3-4 tablespoons, spreading the cakes out with the back of the spatula.

Cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes each side. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper and keep warm until all the cakes have been cooked.

Serving:
Serve with plain unsweetened yoghurt or sour cream.

Cook's Tip: Try substituting the minced lamb with lean minced beef for a different flavour and a cheaper option.
