Pour the cooked potatoes into a mixing bowl.

Add the finely chopped and caramelized onions to the bowl.

Add the can of tuna (if using) to the bowl.

Add the finely chopped parsley to the bowl.

Crack 7 eggs into the bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Mix all the ingredients together in the mixing bowl until evenly combined.

Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a cutting board, fitting three on the board.

Place 2 tablespoons of the filling on the lower right corner of each wrapper, avoiding the edges.

Seal the egg roll wrapper by applying egg whites, folding it over, and patting it down to ensure it is closed.

Continue this process until all the filling is used up.

Preheat vegetable oil in a pot for frying.

Gently place the filled wrappers into the hot vegetable oil, laying them away from you to avoid splatter.

Cook the Brik until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Carefully flip the Brik by grabbing the shorter side of the triangle and flipping towards you to prevent bending or breaking.

Continue to cook until both sides are golden brown.

Remove excess oil by placing the cooked Brik on a pot with paper towels to soak up the oil.

Plate the Tunisian Brik and garnish with parsley.
