Ma'qūda (Arabic: معقودة, lit. 'knotted') is a Maghrebi fritter made of a potato-based batter.[1][2][3][4][5][6] In addition to puréed potato, the batter can contain garlic, salt, hot pepper, egg, and cheese.[6]
In Algeria, the fritter is very popular across the northern part of the country sold, as a sandwich in fast food restaurants usually with harissa. Ma'qūda is also called khbizat ma'dnos (Arabic: خبيزات المعدنوس, lit. 'small parsley breads') in the east, while in the west, it is sometimes stuffed with cheese or ground meat and eaten with harrira soup.[7]
It is a cheap food enjoyed by students and others of modest means in cities such as Fes.[6]
