Moroccan Maakouda: Crispy Fried Potato Fritters
How to make Moroccan maakouda, fried potato fritters seasoned with coriander and garlic, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Everything you need for the Ramadan table and the holidays, gathered in one place. For f’tour, we start with hot harira, dates and chebakia, then chicken or kefta briouats, with msemen and baghrir for s’hour. For Eid, we bring together the celebration platter of roasted meat or chicken, and the hospitality sweets like ghriba and almond fekkas. The recipes are arranged the way they’re actually served, in family quantities, with steps you can prepare ahead so you’re not worn out before the call to prayer. We point out what can be made and frozen in advance and what’s best fried at the last minute, so your table comes together without a rush. The fasting month and the days of joy deserve warm, well-organized cooking that brings the family around one table.
