INGREDIENTS
- ½ kilo pork mince
- 3 medium potatoes, about 600g
- 1 cup (150g) finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon (4g) ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (8g) salt
- 1 tablespoon (3g) dried mint
- 1 cup (50g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 eggs (M)
- 1/3 cup (50g) breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (100g) halloumi, grated on the fine side of the grater
For Frying
- cup (690ml) sunflower oil
METHOD
- Peel the potatoes. In a pot, place one potato and cover with water. Boil until soft and let it cool. Grate the remaining potatoes on the fine side of the grater.
- Squeeze them well. Grate the boiled potato on the fine side of the grater as well. Place the mince in a large bowl. Then, add the potatoes, onion, cinnamon, pepper, salt, mint, parsley, eggs, breadcrumbs, and halloumi.
- Mix the mixture very well and shape into small round meatballs, about walnut-sized (approx. 35g), or if you prefer, give them an oval shape.
- Pour plenty of oil into a frying pan and when it's hot, add the meatballs. When they brown on one side, turn them over to the other side.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon to a colander or onto absorbent kitchen paper to drain the excess oil. Serve them with the oven-baked 'fried' potatoes.
