Simple and satisfying - thanks to my friend and colleague, Naomi, who gave me this recipe. Pop 'em in your mouth and let me know if they aren't good....
Ingredients:
1 large potato
1 large onion
1 lb ground beef
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken soup powder (boullion granules)
2 eggs
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Finely grate the potato and the onion.
2. Mix all ingredients together well, either by hand or with a mixer.
3. You can chill this for an hour or so in the fridge, but I don't usually do so.
4. Roll into small balls (if I were measuring there'd probably be betwen a teaspoon and a Tablespoon of meat mixture for each one).
5. Flatten ever so slightly.
6. Roll the meat into balls/patties before you start to fry.
7. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan- put in a layer of meatballs and fry for approximately 5 minutes on each side.
8. If you use a very large pan you can fry them all up in 2 or 3 batches.
9. If your pan is smaller, however, you may need to change oil halfway through to prevent the later batches from getting too brown on the outside before they're thoroughly cooked inside.
