MINI POTATO CUTLETS / BEGEDIL

 MINI POTATO CUTLETS / BEGEDIL 



This is a tasty treat. Not too filling, crispy on the outside, smooth and tasty on the inside. Can be paired with almost any sauce and it'll still taste good. A perfect way to get rid of excess potatoes or leftover mash. There is no right or wrong way to make this. You can mix curry powder into it, or whatever powdered spice u have, use minced, chicken, beef or fish and it'll still taste good. These are the things u need...... 


Ingredients

1 big potato, boiled and mashed 

2 tablespoons chopped carrots 

2 tablespoons chopped onions 

2 tablespoons chopped spring onions 

2 tablespoons minced pork

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon black pepper 

1 teaspoon smoked paprika 

1 teaspoon garlic powder 

1 egg, beaten 

3 tablespoons flour 

Some bread crumbs 

Oil 



Method 


In a pan sautee the onions, carrots and pork. Season with a pinch of salt 



Mix the paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper with the mashed potatoes 


When the pork's done, mix that with the potatoes and spring onions and let it cool 


Form them into bite sized balls, coat it with flour, dip it into the egg and coat it with breadcrumbs 

Heat up a pot with enough oil to cover the potato balls 

When the oil is hot, fry them till they're golden brown, remove and place it on some kitchen napkins to soak off the excess oil 

Once that's done, it's ready to serve!




Just look at that! Don't tell me your mouth is not watering yet! Nice, crunchy yet soft bite sized pieces of heaven! Besides my mash potatoes, this is my favourite way to dispose of excess potatoes in the house!

Enjoy, everyone! Take care and stay safe!







These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
