Pour warm water and sugar into a mixing bowl and stir.

Add instant dry yeast and wait until bubbles form on the surface.

Add olive oil and a whole egg, then stir until combined.

Mix in all-purpose flour and salt, knead the dough for 8 minutes with a stand mixer or 15 minutes by hand until elastic and soft.

Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to about half a cm thick.

Use an oval-shaped cookie cutter to cut out pieces of dough.

Arrange the dough on a tray, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Preheat oil in a wok and fry the dough pieces until golden and cooked through.

Prepare the filling by dicing cooked potatoes and seasoning with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roughly chop boiled eggs and fresh parsley.

Slice the fried buns open, spread harisa on both sides, and assemble with the filling ingredients.
