POTATO CAKES WITH TUNA FILLING (BATATA CHARP)



Potato Cakes With Tuna Filling (Batata Charp) image

These are crispy fried potato cakes with a tuna and light vegetable filling that is just delicious. DH liked them with the tuna added though it is not traditional. If you prefer you can leave the tuna out for the original vegetarian version. I serve them with a corn free ketchup and plain yogurt to dip them in, sour cream would be good too. The original recipe is from the Iraqi section of The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.

Time 1h

Yield 40 cakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs potatoes (1 kg)
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup rice flour (to be gluten free, but plain may be used)
2 (6 ounce) cans good quality tuna (I think they are 5 or 6 oz, just use the regular ones)
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons oil (canola or light olive)
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 large ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes and boil in their jackets until tender.
  • Drain, peel and mash to a smooth puree.
  • Leave to cool. Then blend in egg, rice flour or plain flour, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Gently fry onion in oil until transparent, add turmeric and fry for a further minute. Remove from heat.
  • Peel tomatoes, halve crosswise and remove seeds and juice.
  • Chop finely and place in a bowl, add onion mixture, tuna, parsley, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • (During shaping moisten hands with water to prevent potato from sticking.).
  • Take about a tbs of the potato mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
  • Put a tsp of the filling in the center and close potato around filling.
  • Roll into a ball and then roll in flour and flatten to make thick cakes. Arrange on a tray.
  • Add oil to frying pan to a depth of 1/4 inch (5mm). Heat well and fry potato cakes until golden brown on each side - about 3 minutes in all.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve hot on a plate with your choice of condiments.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh tuna, potatoes, and vegetables will make a big difference in the taste of your cakes.
  • Be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the mixture. This will help to prevent the cakes from becoming too wet.
  • If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • If you want to make the cakes ahead of time, you can form them and then refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or ketchup.

Conclusion:

Tuna potato cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they're also great for parties and potlucks. With so many different ways to make them, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
