Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes, cut them into thin slices, and then set them aside.
  • Combine the ground beef or lamb with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and one beaten egg in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Take a handful of the meat mixture and shape it into a flat oval patty.
  • Place a slice of potato on top of the meat patty and fold it over, enclosing the potato completely. Continue the process with the rest of the meat and potatoes.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the remaining egg.
  • Dip each stuffed meat patty into the beaten egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Fry the stuffed meat patties until golden brown on both sides.
  • Once browned, transfer the Mafrum to a baking dish. Pour the broth over the Mafrum.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until the Mafrum is cooked and the broth has reduced.
