Mfarakeh (Arabic: مفركة, also spelled mofarakah or mufaraqah also known as Batata Wa Bayd (Arabic: بطاطا وبيض) is an Arab dish made of potato, egg, ghee, cumin powder, salt and pepper, in addition chopped coriander leaf for garnish.[1][2][3][4] This dish is very simple to make for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is eaten with Arabic bread (Pita) and Arabic tea.[5]

Mfarakeh is traditionally served as part of a mezze in the Arab world, especially in the Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan).[6]

Etymology

The word "mfarakeh" (Arabic: مفركة) is derived from the Arabic verb, Arabic: فرك, romanized: farak, meaning "the rubbed".[7] The root is also used to describe the crumbling apart of fully ripe wheat when rubbed in one's hand[8] or even a wooden whisk used to break up food.[9] This renders the meaning closer to "that which is crumbled or broken apart into bits"; descriptive of the way the egg falls in crumbles around the potatoes.
