Ingredients
  

  • 500 g minced meat beef, lamb, or low-fat meat
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional
  • Salt turmeric, pepper-to taste

  3. Shape the mixture into oval or round patties (about the size of a tangerine). Moisten hands slightly with water to prevent sticking.
