Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Half a loaf of bread
- 1 egg
- 1 glass of milk
- Half a cup of flour
- 2 potatoes
Spices
- 1 teaspoon vegeta or other seasoning
Preparation Time
Total: 30 minutes
Step-by-Step Instruction
- Begin by crumbling half a loaf of bread into a large mixing bowl.
- Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Add these to the bowl with the breadcrumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg thoroughly until it becomes frothy.
- Pour the whisked egg over the breadcrumb and potato mixture.
- Add one full glass of milk to the bowl, ensuring it moistens the bread completely.
- Now, gradually incorporate half a cup of flour into the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Season the mixture with one teaspoon of vegeta or your preferred seasoning.
- Mix all ingredients together until they form a cohesive, slightly sticky dough.
- Using clean hands, take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty about the size of your palm.
- Repeat the process until all of the mixture has been used to form patties.
- Heat a layer of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, ensuring there's space between each one.
- Cook the patties on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they turn a golden-brown color.
- Carefully remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Allow the patties to cool slightly before serving.
- For added flavor, consider serving the patties with a sauce or sour cream on the side.
Tips
- **Ensure the bread is sufficiently moist** to avoid dry patties.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, coat the patties lightly with extra flour before frying.
- **Try adding finely chopped onions** or garlic for enhanced flavor.
