200 g (7 oz) minced meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)

1/2 teaspoon paprika or cumin (optional, for flavor)

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add in grated potatoes, minced meat, onion, salt, pepper, and any spices or herbs you’re using.
-
Mix everything well until fully combined. The texture should be thick, like a batter.
-
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly. Cover with a lid and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Carefully flip the dish (or cut into quarters and flip individually), and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes, uncovered.

Once both sides are golden and the meat is fully cooked, transfer to a plate and slice to serve.
Serving and Storage Tips

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or ketchup.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.

Baked version: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes until set and golden.

Gluten-free patties: Scoop spoonfuls of the mix into small rounds and pan-fry like fritters.
FAQ
Q: Can I use leftover mashed potatoes instead of grated ones?
A: Yes! You may need to reduce the eggs slightly and adjust the texture, but it will still be delicious and softer in texture.
Q: Is this dish freezer-friendly?
A: You can freeze it in slices, wrapped tightly. Reheat in a pan or oven for best results — the texture may soften slightly.
Q: Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef?
A: Absolutely — both work well and keep the dish light. You can also use plant-based mince for a vegetarian version.
Q: Can I bake this instead of frying?
A: Yes — use a greased baking dish and bake until golden and firm. It’s a great hands-off alternative.
Q: What if I don’t have onions or herbs?
A: No worries — the basic trio of eggs, potatoes, and meat is flavorful enough on its own. Add what you have!
