Armenian Bulgur and Potato Balls image

Tasty vegetarian croquettes that are lightly fried. I served this as part of a light lunch with several appetizers, including baba gannouj, and hummous, with pita bread, some olives, and a green salad.

Time 1h3m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs potatoes (about 6 medium)
3/4 cup fine bulgur
3/4 cup flour
salt
black pepper
oil (for deep frying)
2 medium onions, chopped fine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup currants
1/3 cup tahini
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes; boil in the skins until tender, then drain, remove skins, and mash.
  • Place bulgur in a small bowl and cover with cold water and set aside for 5 minutes; then drain in a sieve, pressing to get all the water out as possible.
  • Mix together potato, bulgur, flour, salt and pepper, blending into a thick paste.
  • Place onion and oil in a skillet and sauté until onion is tender, then place in a bowl with remaining filling ingredients; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Shape bulgur/potato mixture into balls and flatten in your hands; place a teaspoon or so of filling in the center of the flattened potato mixture and close up the potato part around it, forming a smooth oval shaped ball.
  • Repeat with remaining paste and filling.
  • Heat oil and deep fry balls several at a time for about 6-8 minutes, turning to brown both sides; drain on paper toweling before serving.
  • Serve hot or warm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these balls turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the bulgur.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the balls fell apart when I tried to fry them. Not sure what went wrong.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used leftover mashed potatoes and they worked perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of bulgur, but these balls were surprisingly good. The potato and spices really balanced out the flavor.

These bulgur and potato balls were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious savory flavor. I served them with a side of yogurt sauce and they were perfect.
