Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 300 grams minced beef or pork
- 300 grams minced chicken
- Salt, to taste
- Dried dill, to taste
- Pepper mix, to taste
- Dried garlic, to taste
- Meat seasoning, to taste
- 2 potatoes, peeled and grated
- 300 grams cottage cheese
- 3–4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 20 grams dried dill
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 250 grams bacon, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, chicken, eggs, grated potatoes, cottage cheese, garlic, and seasonings. Add flour to bind the mixture together.
- Shape the Patties: Use your hands to form the meat mixture into small, even-sized patties or balls. Press them slightly to flatten.
- Fry the Patties: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Be sure to cook them thoroughly.
- Prepare Bacon Topping: In a separate pan, fry the bacon until crispy. Once the patties are cooked, place them on a plate and top with the crispy bacon.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can substitute the bacon with crispy onions or a sprinkle of grated cheese.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes instead of frying them.
