Step 1

For the sauce, heat a pan on a low-medium flame. Heat the oil and start by browning the ground beef. Once brown, set aside to drain any excess fat.

Step 2

In the same pan sauté the onions for 2 minutes, add in a drizzle of oil if needed. Toss in the bell peppers and sauté for further 2 minutes.

Step 3

Next add the chopped tomatoes and spices, stir to combine. Return the browned meat; cook covered on a low heat for an hour.

Step 4

For the potato pancakes, take a large mixing bowl and combine the grated potatoes, onion, eggs and flour - mix well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Please note this mixture tends to be on the thicker side.

Step 6

Heat your remaining oil in a large sauce pan, over a medium – high heat. Take 1-2 tbsp of pancake mixture and place in the middle of the pan, smoothing out with spoon.

Step 7

Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil and flatten down gently with a spoon. Cook until they reach a golden brown on each side. 3-5 minutes each.

Step 8

Stack 3 pancakes on your plate, coat with your sauce, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
