Lidia this sounds like an interesting variation of potato cakes we make sometimes out of leftover mashed potatoes, except we make patties and then brown them on each side. I'll have to give this Turkish version a try!

Thats really intersting...potatoes with a carrot mixed in there. I like the idea since I can be bad getting enough vegetables. Sometimes I add shredded carrots to my mac 'n cheese. Thanks!
