Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato-Egg Mix
Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out excess water using a clean towel. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the eggs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well blended.
2. Combine with Minced Meat
Add the minced meat into the mixture. Using clean hands, knead until it turns into a smooth, uniform mixture. Shape into oval or round patties and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake the Patties
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the patties for about 20–25 minutes, until they start to firm up and turn slightly golden.
4. Add the Cheesy Topping
Remove the patties from the oven and generously sprinkle grated cheese on top of each one. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling with a golden crust.
5. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the patties for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or even a light dipping sauce.
Tips & Variations
Make them spicier: Add chili powder, hot paprika, or jalapeños to the meat mix.
Go low-carb: Swap potatoes with grated zucchini (just squeeze out the water).
Meal-prep friendly: Bake in bulk and store in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.
