1: Preheat oven to 350F. Place potatoes in a pot of water and boil. Remove once knife runs through potatoes with difficulty, so enough to parboil them. Drain. 2: In a mini processor, chop cilantro, garlic, and onion until fine. Add all meat mixture ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix just until combined. 3: Carefully slice potatoes in 3-4 slices lengthwise. Place slices on a flat surface, place 1-2 tbsp of the meat mixture in the middle, and top with another slice of potato. Set aside and repeat until done. 4: Heat a large pan with about 1 inch of oil over medium heat. Place potato starch in a bowl and egg in another. Trying to work quickly, dip each piece in first potato starch then egg, then drop in hot oil. Flip once golden. Remove and set aside in a baking dish. 5: Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil. Fry onion until caramelized. Add all other sauce ingredients and mix. Pour over mafrum. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
