Batata Harra With Ground Meat

Preparing the potatoes:

Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Place the cubes in a deep bowl with water and let them soak for a while. Drain the water, sprinkle the potato cubes with salt, and mix well.

Heat the oil to 175°C (350°F) and fry the potato cubes for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, depending on the desired crispiness. Drain the fried potatoes on a paper towel.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tomato paste, cayenne pepper powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salad seasoning, and salt. Stir until smooth. Add the fried potato cubes and briefly cook them. Finally, stir in the chopped parsley

Preparing the ground meat:

Heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground meat and season with cumin powder, cinnamon powder, red bell pepper powder, cayenne pepper powder, dried parsley, and salt. Cook the meat for 7-8 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns. Add the water and tomato paste, and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes

Finishing:

Spread a layer of fried potato cubes in a baking dish. Place a slice of cheese on top, then spoon the ground meat mixture over it. Place the batata harra with ground meat in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F). Bake for 8-10 minutes.
