This is one of my dishes I had growing up all the time. It is quite similar to the Egyptian version of the recipe but both the mince meat and potatoes are mashed together
This looks really good! Can’t wait to try it! I never thought about using just egg whites & milk for the egg wash – I’ve always used whole eggs. Does using just whites affect more than just flavor? Part of me wants to do a side-by-side experiment,👩🏻🔬 but I’ll bet you guys already know! Obi, not only are your recipes – & videos – & descriptions – all awesome, you AND your fans are a great source of knowledge – Love the forum / comments section here! ❤️
Dear Obi, a tip I learned recently for koftas – squeeze the shredded onions out, only use the squeezed shredded onions. This way the kofta isn't too wet. My version on this is to keep the onion water in a bowl so I can adjust the wetness. This allows to achieve a better ratio of bread crumbs or chickpea flour to everything else because you're not battling against a soupy mix. Bread crumbs, chickpea flour, rice, whatever are integral to koftas but sometimes the mix is just too watery so you end up with too bready of a kofta which is kinda f.
These look so good. I make a similar dish (I think it's called mafroum?) where the potato slices are not breaded but covered in egg and flour, then deepfried, and finally everything is cooked in tomato sauce and served with rice. I haven't made it for a while though as it's a project.
These sound amazing but with my toddler IDK when I'd find the time 🙈
Ramadan Kareem Obi and Salma!
The tupperware you use is always so pretty, can I know where you get it?
It looks absolutely amazing!!!!! im definitely giving this Libyan recipe a try, thank you.
Does this also go in the air fryer instead of deep frying in oil?
I'm waiting for you to put out a cookbook, you've so many wonderful looking recipes I want to try. I'd happily pay shipping from Britain.
Hey how long does it take to make this?
sandwiched by potatoes, that's just genius!!!

Definitely going to make! I know it's easier said than done, but keep your Head up Sir and keep up the good Work!
That looks amazing!
Lamb? Pork would be much better
These look wonderful! I really want to make these. I want to make many of the recipes you share—but these have rocketed to the top of the list!!
2:14 did you say you gave the egg yolk to your cat? hmm i did not know cats ate raw eggs
They look amazing! I’ll be trying them soon, thanks for the great video 👍
For some reason I think of them as a savory version of a deep fried Oreo. Just my brain being weird. 😅
Looks delicious! Can't wait to try it
That looks so good. I'll be trying my hand at these as soon as I can.
This reminds me of the Egyptian dish Koftat Batatas (though our version is more of a croquette)
Almost like potato balls from I think Cuba
Bismillah
Beautiful
Love your recipes, will try and make this for iftar in the coming days!
finally something from my country, glad you picked one of the best small bite recipes that is mainly cooked in Ramadan

Looks great, that’s coming from a Libyan.
Keep up the great videos. Also this is called mbatan and it’s a Libyan food.
Yummy! Finally, the recipe to one of my favorite dishes in the whole world!

Excellent video, thanks…! Cheers from Canada…
