Method
- 01 The potatoes are cleaned and boiled for about half an hour in boiling water, then mashed. Two eggs are boiled and cut into small cubes.
- 02 The parsley and onion are chopped and fried for a few minutes in a little oil. The capers are cleaned and chopped.
- 03 The remaining two eggs are beaten and mixed with the potato, boiled egg, parsley, onion, and capers, then the filling is seasoned with black pepper and salt.
- 04 The filo dough leaves are spread and their edges are folded to become square. A quarter of the filling is placed in the center of each leaf, then folded into a triangle shape.
- 05 The frying oil is heated until it starts to shimmer without smoking. The brik is fried on both sides until it becomes golden and crispy.
- 06 The brik is drained and served hot with lemon wedges.
