Kibbeh potato

Method

1. 1 Boil the potatoes for 25 minutes, then mash them while still hot and let them cool completely.
2. 2 Soak the broken wheat for 30 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water and knead it with mashed potatoes to form a dough.
3. 3 Squeezing out the excess wheat is the crucial step; the remaining water creates a soggy mass of husks that won't hold its shape in the tray.
4. 4 Sauté onions with crushed walnuts, chili powder, pomegranate syrup, and pine nuts for 10 minutes to make the filling.
5. 5 Place half of the shell in the tray, cover with filling, then place the other half and score a diamond shape on the surface.
6. 6 Drizzle with olive oil, bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes, and sprinkle with mint leaves when serving.
