all I know is that the ingredients are;

 

  • egg
  • potatoes/chips
  • onion
  • and you can add salt for extra taste

you cut the potatoes into small pieces & the same with the onion, and add all ingredients in a frying pan (apart from egg) after a a few minutes you then add the egg and constantly mix all the ingredients together.

 

Once the potatoes look done and the onion has darkened then it is done.

 

This to me is the best turkish meal (my grandad is the only person that can make this perfect every single time) so I´m not sure if it is a turkish meal or just turkish cypriot but you must try it!{#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

It sounds somewhat like the recipe on this website: http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2006/11/potatoes-with-eggs.php. You can also email Binnur who does the blog, she´s fantastic when it comes to responding to any questions, she´ll let you know if that´s its name.

i don´t know if there is a special name for it.  But it sounds kind of an omlette, or menemen.  I would recommend to try it with by putting in some tomato and green chillies.

OMG i love this for breakfast. I had ot all the time for breakfast when i was in Turkey but the only problem was when i made it the potatoes never seemed to cook in the inside, usually still a bit hard int he inside but golden on the outside. Why!

I´ve never made it myself so don´t know what it´s supposed to look like, but what I would do is try to maybe cube the potatoes and boil them first a bit before frying them - that´s what I do when I make hashbrowns and they turn out great

 

I am soooo tempted to make this dish now, it sounds like it´s a winner.

 The same dish can be found in Syria and Lebanon under the name "mfarraket batata"

here are the links to youtube showing how to cook it (3 parts)
