Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs potatoes (about 6 medium)
  • 3/4 cup fine bulgur
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • oil (for deep frying)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup currants
  • 1/3 cup tahini

Directions:

  1. Scrub potatoes; boil in the skins until tender, then drain, remove skins, and mash.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix together potato, bulgur, flour, salt and pepper, blending into a thick paste.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat with remaining paste and filling.
  7. 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.
  8. Serve hot or warm.
