Turkish Ground Beef and Potato Recipe (Kiymali Patates)
Ingredients
*1/2 lb. ground beef *2 T. Tomato Paste *Salt and Pepper to Taste *1 Small Onion- diced *2 T. Butter
*Water
Preparation
*Wash and peel the potatoes. *Slice the potatoes 1/2" thick. Place them in a bowl of water so they do not brown. *In a saucepan, under medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onions. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. *Add the ground beef, cook until brown. *Add the tomato paste. Mix with the meat. *Place the potatoes on top of the meat mixture. *Add enough water to barely cover the potatoes. Please note: Do not add too much water or it will be like a soup. The liquid should be of an orange color from the tomato paste. *Add Salt and Pepper to Taste. *Bring to a boil. Once it boils, bring it down to a medium-low for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. ***Check the water level during the cooking process. There should be enough liquid, but not like a soup. It should not turn into a paste either. So, you may need to add some water during the cooking process.
