Cheesy beef stuffed potato cakes sound like a delicious treat! Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 200g ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil the potato chunks in salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cook the beef mixture:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the potato cakes:
- Take a small portion of the mashed potatoes and flatten it in your hand. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of the potato round. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture. Fold the edges of the potato round over the filling, shaping it into a round cake. Repeat with the remaining mashed potatoes and beef mixture.
- Cook the potato cakes:
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the stuffed potato cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Once the potato cakes are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish, and serve hot.
These cheesy beef stuffed potato cakes make a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
