Potato Meatball (Bergedel)

Ingredients:

1. Potatoes
2. Minced meat
3. Small onions
4. Spring onions
5. Garlic
6. Black Pepper
7. Eggs
8. Cooking Oil for frying.
9. Salt for taste

Peel and clean the potatoes and cut them into medium sized cubes.  Put a pot filled with water and enough salt for taste to boil. Pour in the cubed potatoes to cook. Check with fork to test. Once cooked, lift pan and toast the potatoes to dry.

Mash garlic and onion in a pounding mortar (lesung batu). You may want to use blender but using mortar will provide a better squeezed juice of the garlic & onion. Once done, you may start to mash all the potatoes completely and mix the crushed black pepper in.

Mince the spring onions and mix it with all the mashed potatoes and pounded onions and garlic. Pour in the minced meat altogether and mix thoroughly as it forms a dough like material. Shape it to any look you like.

Heat oil in a pan. Beat eggs to become fluffy and dip in the shaped potato dough. Put to fry and serve.
