Spicy maakouda (potato fritter) stack with avocado mayonnaise

Serves: 4 - 6
Total Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • MAAKOUDA

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled until soft
  • 300g red and white quinoa mix, cooked according to packaging instructions
  • handful fresh mint, chopped + extra leaves, to garnish
  • handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil, to shallow-fry

  • AVOCADO MAYONNAISE

  • 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil
  • 2 – 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions

1

For the maakouda, combine the potatoes, cooked quinoa, mint and parsley in a large bowl. Mix until well combined and season to taste. Carefully scoop ⅓ cupfuls of the mixture and shape into 7cm-diameter patties.

2

Heat a few big glugs of olive oil in a large frying pan placed over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, 3 – 4 minutes per side.

3

For the avocado mayonnaise, place the 60ml (1/3 cup) olive oil together with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Using a stick blender, blitz the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4

Serve the maakouda warm, garnished with a few fresh mintleaves. Enjoy with the lemon wedges alongside for squeezing, and the avocado mayonnaise for dipping.
