Kotlet (Meat and Potato Patties)

Preparation

1. Peel and grate the potato, then soak in warm water for 2 hours to reduce potassium. Rinse, drain and squeeze excess water using a clean dish towel.
2. Grate the white onion; dice the red onion and shred the lettuce.
3. Mix ground beef, white onion, grated potato, egg, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper and Mrs. Dash seasoning until well mixed.
4. Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet.
5. Make 5 patties (round, the size of your palm) and fry over medium heat until browned on both sides.
6. Serve each patty on a pita with lettuce, red onion and fresh basil.
