It's essentially buffalo chicken in sauce form, with the typical side of celery and dipping sauce mixed in. Or at least that's what I had in mind.

Boil them, then mash them with half their weight in dairy products (mostly butter, cream cheese, and sour cream). Don't peel them, for the love of all things sacred.

I like the peels and I suggest cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions as toppings.

I have never had potatoe with cream cheese...

After you have mashed potatoes, add one egg per 2 cups of potatoes and cook them in a waffle iron for potato waffles! Make sure there is a lot of cheese.

It's almost considered wasteful in my house to mash potatoes without making them into waffles. They are that good.

Potato peels offer texture and nutrition. Much good.

Yeah what sheb said, shwarma is donair meat.  It just tends to come with different sauces/in a pita bread wrap and the like. 

So I made a well... I'd call it a stir fry but it wasn't really last night of a few pounds of zuchinni and some mustard leaves.  For spices I used some chili flakes, tumeric, ginger, garlic, a little cloves and lemon.  It was delicious as I kept the amounts of spices very low and didn't cook the zuchinni too much.... unfortunately I ended up violently ill a few hours later.  Time to find out which of those things was bad...

What is wrong with you people! Generally, Beef Shwarma is seasoned beef on a spit, where as donair is generally a ground meet concoction (still cooked on a spit). They're two very different tastes. Nothing WRONG with donair, but it's not Shwarma.

Edit: Not hostile, just passionate about Shwarma. So good.

Edit the second: This may just be a North American thing, definitions seem to vary by region.

Seriously though, there's the (not entirely unfounded) story around here that Döner was in fact invented in Germany, by Turkish immigrants. Thus it's entirely appropriate to consider it a typically German dish, and call 'döner' the original German spelling ;)

I always heard it was kebabs (as in the wrapped, burrito-esque masterpieces of drunk food) that were invented by a Turk in Germany, but kabob (whether minced or whole meat) in general has a long history in the middle East... unless you want to explain to my Persian friends why their grandmother's recipe for kabob is an import? :P

Every Persian and Turkish kebab I've ever had from a *traditional* restaurant was always meat and veges served with loose flatbread, never wrapped up, so I'm inclined to believe it. Doner meat, as in the kofta-esque blend cooked on a spit, has definitely existed for a loong time.
