Ingredients

  • 2 pounds /1kg ground beef
  • 2 medium onions grated or finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium potato peeled, grated and squeezed
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup flour for coating kotleti
  • ½ cup oil sunflower or vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Using your hands, mix together ground beef, grated onion, garlic, grated potato, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. After you grate the potato, squeeze out the excess potato juice before mixing to the meat mixture.
  • Form the meat patties using your hands. Make them into a tight ball (like a snowball), and slightly flatten with your hands into a patty, keeping the edges rounded and width uniform throughout. Put on a plate or tray, ready for frying.
  • Lightly coat the kotleti in flour before frying. Don't allow thick clumps of flour on the patties, or it will burn and fall into the oil. Gently shake excess flour off the kotleti.
  • Heat oil into a frying pan until hot on medium-high. Fry kotleti golden brown and cooked on both sides. (approx 4 minutes per side).
  • Serve alongside mashed potatoes and gravy.
