Ingredients
500 gr of minced beef ( you can also use 250 gr of beef and 250 gr of pork)
1 large onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
Salt & Pepper
1 egg
1 cup of milk
1 tsp of mustard ( optional)
2 medium potatoes ( washed and peeled)
sunflower oil
Breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1 : In a food processor add peeled and chopped potatos, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and blitz until smooth. Then add mustard and mix everything. If you dont have a food processor, you can do everything by hand on the hand grated ( smallest cut) This however will take much longer.
Step 2 : Add minced beef, egg and mix for few minutes until its incorporated. Place meat into a large bowl and add milk. You can add less or more, just make sure your meat is soft - not runny and not too hard either.
Step 3 : Take a large tbsp of meat mixture, roll in your hands ( make sure they are wet, it will be easier to handle the meat) and then dip into breadcrumbs from both sides and set aside. Repeat until they are finished.
Step 4 : Prepare the pan, add hot oil and butter and wait till it gets really hot, only then place beef meatballs inside. Fry from both sides for 5-8 min. At first have high heat, so they crisp up and then lower it to low - medium. Once they are all done, serve with whatever garnish you want. Enjoy!
