Description
Crispy golden potato pancakes filled with a savory meat patty. A comforting and hearty meal that substitutes traditional pork with beef or turkey.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, peeled
- 1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 Tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- 1 Tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp salt (for potatoes)
- 1/4 tsp salt (for meat)
- 1/8 tsp black pepper (for potatoes)
- Pinch of black pepper (for meat)
Instructions
- Into a large bowl, grate the peeled potatoes using the star side of a box grater. Spoon off about 1/3 cup of the excess liquid that rises to the top.
- Grate the onion on the star grater into the same bowl. Remove 1 Tbsp of the grated onion and set it aside for the meat mixture.
- Add the egg, flour, 1 Tbsp sour cream, 1 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper to the potato/onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef (or turkey), reserved onion, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form into 16 thin patties.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a spoonful of potato mixture in the pan, flatten slightly, top with a meat patty, and cover with another spoonful of potato mixture.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and the meat is cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
Notes
Traditional recipes use pork, but this version uses ground beef or turkey. Ensure the meat patties are thin so they cook fully.
