Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 100 grams ground beef
- 3 pieces shallots
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped celery leaves
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 milliliters vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
Mash the potatoes until smooth and set aside.
Step 3
In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and sauté the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Step 4
Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Add them to the mashed potatoes along with the sautéed ground beef.
Step 5
Mix in the ground nutmeg, white pepper, chopped celery leaves, egg, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is evenly seasoned.
Step 6
With your hands, shape the mixture into small, round patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Step 8
Fry the patties, a few at a time, until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 9
Once fried, remove the perkedel from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
