Directions:

To make the kofta mix:
1- Shred an onion on a large grater
2- Add the meat, onion and other ingredients to a large mixing bowl except the breadcrumbs
3- Mix thoroughly until evenly combined and a loose mix forms
4- Add the bread crumbs starting with 2 Tbsp, knead in then check texture
5- Keep adding breadcrumbs till the mixture firms up, stops being sticky, and can hold its shape

To stuff the potatoes:
1- Peel the potatoes, then cut into slices about 3mm thick
2- Take 2 adjacent slices of potato, and place some kofta mix on it, spreading it into an even layer
3- Place the next slice of potato on top and squeeze to adhere
4- Go around the edge of the potato, pushing any excess filling back in between the layers and flattening it so there is no excess

To bread:
1- Combine the flour, salt and pepper and mix well
2- Combine the egg whites and milk, and whisk together
3- Take a stuffed potato and place in the flour, coat thoroughly
4- Dust off any excess flour, then place the potato in the egg wash. Flip and coat thoroughly
5- Lift the potato out of the egg and drain off excess, then place it into the breadcrumbs. Cover in breadcrumbs and make sure it is fully coated
6- Bread the remaining ones then fry immediately

To cook:
1- Fill a pan with about 1cm of oil, and heat on high heat
2- Once the oil is bubbling, place your Mbatan in, filling the pan. Turn the heat down to medium
3- Cook for 6 minutes on the first side then flip and cook for 6 minutes more
4- Remove once the potato is cooked, then allow to drain excess oil on some paper towels
5- Serve hot
