    Diet Types:
  • Diabetes
  • Dialysis

Ingredients

  • 1 small potatoes
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 3/4 cup lettuce
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash® Original herb seasoning blend
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 pieces pita bread, 6” size
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

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.

Helpful hints

  • French bread, lavash, hamburger buns or tortillas are also good bread choices.
  • Use less oil and a non-stick pan to lower calorie and fat.
  • It’s easy to get very creative with Kotlets by adding or substituting various ingredients. Serve cold or hot for lunch, dinner or  as an appetizer.
  • Shredded hash brown potatoes can be substituted for fresh potato. No need to soak potatoes if you are not on a potassium restriction.
