Palestinian Batata Wa Bayd - Mfarakeh
Palestinian Batata Wa Bayd - Mfarakeh
- Batata wa Bayd is a Palestinian and Lebanese recipe that is popular across the Middle East with slight variations found between regions. In Arabic, Batata translates to Potato and Bayd translates to Eggs. This recipe is referred to as Palestinian Egg and Chips. It reminds me a little bit of this Afghan Potato and Eggs and this Egg and Potato Hash. Like both these recipes, this egg dish is great to serve to guests and is perfect for any time of day and as such, we eat it for Breakfast, Bruch, Lunch or Dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon Oil Sunflower Oil
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 2 Potatoes Peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Coarse
- 1 Onion diced
- 4 Eggs
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon Sumac
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon Zataar
Instructions
- Heat up a large non stick pan and add Oil and Butter.
- Once foaming and hot, add the Potatoes, Cumin Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Salt and Pepper and cook on medium high for 10 minutes.
- Remove the Potatoes from the Oil and add the Onions. Cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes till they turn a light golden brown and have softened.
- Add the Potatoes back to the pan and crack in the Eggs. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes. I do this uncovered so the Eggs remain runny.
- Sprinkle the dish with a little more Salt and Pepper, then sprinkle over Sumac and Zataar.
