Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cover them with cold water in a large pot.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and simmer the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes well and mash them until smooth but not pureed.
  4. Add the eggs, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix thoroughly until combined.
  5. Grind or finely chop the leftover boiled beef or brisket.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the grated onion until golden brown.
  7. Add the ground beef, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the onions.
  8. Stir in a tablespoon of beef broth if the meat mixture seems too dry, then remove from heat.
  9. Take a small handful of the potato mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
  10. Place two tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of the potato disc.
  11. Enclose the filling by folding the potato around it, shaping it into a ball, then gently patting it down into a plump patty shape.
  12. Dredge the patties lightly in flour.
  13. Heat margarine or vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat.
  14. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, turning carefully.
  15. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Note

Storage: Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.

Substitutions: If you do not have leftover beef, you can use ground beef cooked with onions and spices for the filling.

Tip: Ensure the potato mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm enough to be pliable when forming the patties.

Variations: Add a pinch of paprika or cumin to the meat filling for extra flavor.
