This dish is part of the famous Lebanese Meze (Meza, Mezza, Mezze)
WHAT YOU NEED
  • 6 or 7 medium potatoes
  • 1/2  cup of Bulgur (Borghol, Bourghol, Bourgol)
  • 1 cup of walnuts
  • 1 large onion
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground Lebanese 7 spices mix (or alternatively black pepper and cinnamon)
  • ​Salt to taste
Soak the bulgur (borghol, bourghol, bourgol) for 1/2 hour, drain excess water and set aside.
Peel and boil the potatoes until soft then smash them.​
Peel and cut the onion and combine it with most of the walnuts (keep a few pieces for decoration, see later) and the bulgur (bourghol, bourghol, bourgol) in a blender.
Turn the blender on then add water little by little until the mix holds well together. This requires approximately 1/3 of a cup of water.
Add the blended mix to the smashed potatoes; add also the salt and the spices.
Wetten the mix by spreading water with your hand and mix well with your hand the potatoes and the blend of walnuts and onion until reaching the right uniformity and smoothness. 
Transpose to a serving dish and use a tablespoon to create craters as shown.
Fill these with olive oil and use the remaining walnuts for decorating the potato kebbeh.
You can also add a little olive oil in your dish before tasting this delicious Lebanese meza (meze, mezze) dish. 
​Bon Appétit !
