Lebanese potato casserole with minced meat | Siniyeh Batata

okay, the title of the recipe does not sound like a dish from Lebanon or the Levant. Potato casserole sounds rather European. You have to add the keyword “Lebanese” to avoid confusion. A friend of mine even asked me in all seriousness what the potato had lost “down there” anyway … so really! But honestly? “Down there” (still can’t figure it out!) people go crazy for the great tuber. There is actually hardly a day when there is no homemade fries – no kidding! Even with buttered rice and yogurt, people like to have homemade fries!
