Scale

5 whole potatoes

large (about 4 pounds)

1 bunch fresh parsley

finely chopped

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

finely chopped

5 cloves garlic

minced

4 teaspoons cumin

2 1/4 teaspoons turmeric

1/2 teaspoon salt

more or less to taste

1/4 teaspoon pepper

more or less to taste

1 cup tahini paste

or more as needed

Peel and grate the potatoes, then place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, and tahini. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spoon out portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly into patties.
Bake for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

For extra crispiness, you may pan-fry the patties instead of baking. Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
