Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 stalks Green Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 100 milliliters Dairy-Free Cooking Oil
• 1 tablespoon Egg Alternative (e.g., flax egg or chickpea flour mixed with water)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Chopped Red Chili (optional for heat)

Directions

Step 1

1. Peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

2. While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic, chop the green onions, cilantro, and red chili (if using).

Step 3

3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and mash them in a large bowl until smooth.

Step 4

4. Add the minced garlic, chopped green onion, ground white pepper, salt, coriander powder, egg alternative, chopped cilantro, and chili, if using, to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

5. Shape the mixture into small, round patties, about the size of a hockey puck. Flatten them slightly for even cooking.

Step 6

6. Heat the dairy-free cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

7. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Fry them in batches if necessary, to avoid crowding.

Step 8

8. Cook the patties on each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

9. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

10. Serve the dairy-free bergedil warm as a snack or a side dish alongside rice or a main course.
