Persian Cutlet

==Description==
Category:Persian Recipes
I first had these on a trip to California with my friend and his sister. We had them picnic-style, served cold, with nane lavash, and chutney. You can serve them warm also. They are good as an appetizer as well as a main course.
===Ingredients===
1 lb potatoes 
1 lb lean ground Beef (or Lamb) 
1 medium Onion, minced 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon pepper 
2 eggs 
1 pinch saffron (optional) 
1 pinch turmeric (optional) 
2 cups breadcrumbs 
oil (for frying) 
===Directions===
Peel potatoes and dice. 
Boil potatoes in water for 15–20 minutes or until fork-tender; drain. 
Mash potatoes; allow to cool. 
Add ground Beef, minced Onion, salt, pepper, eggs, and spices (if desired) to Potato and mix with your fingers until the consistency is dough-like. 
Take 2 spoonfuls of meat mixture and form into a small flat patty and dredge in breadcrumbs and set aside on waxed paper. 
Repeat with more meat mixture until you have quite a few made. 
Fry patties in shallow layer of oil, until they are cooked through and golden brown; drain on paper toweling.
