These Turkish-inspired egg and potato bites are a delicious and savory snack. They are made with eggs, mayonnaise, onions, potatoes, and a touch of soy sauce for added flavor.

Steps

  1. Steps:
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and mayonnaise together until well combined.
  3. Add the finely chopped onion, mashed potato, and soy sauce to the bowl and mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Spoon small portions of the egg and potato mixture onto the pan, shaping them into bite-sized patties.
  6. Cook the bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the bites from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Turkish Egg and Potato Bites

  • The mixture should hold together on a spoon; if it seems loose, let it stand briefly so the mashed potato absorbs some moisture.
  • Make the patties small and evenly thick so their centers cook through before their outsides become too dark.
  • A thin, flexible spatula helps turn the soft bites without breaking them; allow the first side to set well before flipping.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry cider
Its bright, fruity acidity balances the savory bites and their creamy mayonnaise.

0% option: Sparkling apple juice

Storage

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the bites are cooked through?

They should be golden outside and set in the middle, with no wet egg mixture visible when one is opened.

Why are my bites falling apart?

The mixture may be too loose or the patties may have been turned before their first side set. Keep them small and handle gently.

Can I prepare the mixture ahead?

For best texture, cook the bites soon after mixing. You can boil and mash the potato ahead, then refrigerate it until needed.
