Cook the Meat Filling: In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter. Add chopped onions, garlic, and rosemary, and sauté until softened. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned. Stir in flour to thicken, then add cream and cook until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Form the Patties: Take a portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center and mold the potatoes around the filling to form a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture and filling.
Fry the Patties: Heat sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Prepare the Potato Mixture: Boil and mash the potatoes. In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with 2 beaten eggs, milk, butter, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Serve: Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Garnish with before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of sour cream or for dipping.
Pair with a fresh salad for a lighter meal.
Enjoy with a hot sauce or ketchup on the side.
Serve as a main dish with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Make a sandwich by placing the patties between two pieces of bread.
Cooking Tips
If the potato mixture feels too soft, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up before shaping into patties.
Be sure to cool the meat filling slightly before adding it to the potato mixture to avoid the patties falling apart.
For extra crispy patties, coat them lightly with breadcrumbs before frying.
