Preparation

Step 1
Boil potatoes until tender, and then drain well. Mash in a bowl.
Step 2
While potatoes are boiling, heat oil in a skillet, and saute onions until lightly browned.
Step 3
Combine mashed potatoes and onion, then set aside until cooled to room temperature.
Step 4
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
Step 5
To the mashed-potato mixture, add walnuts, bread crumbs, eggs, nutmeg, cardamom, coriander, salt and pepper. Using about ¼ cup of the potato mixture for each, form flattened oval patties, and place them on the baking sheet. Bake patties for about 10 minutes per side, until browned.
