Cutlets with a secret

What is this secret ingredient, you ask? The answer is simple—potato. Yes, raw potato, grated on a grater. Want to try these patties? Then check out my step-by-step photo recipe.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I make the meat filling myself, using 300 g of beef and 200 g of pork. I prefer this combination the most. Peel and rinse the potatoes and onions.

Step 3
Meanwhile, pass the onion and potato through a meat grinder. You can also grate them on a grater or chop them using a blender. However, I prefer the meat grinder option the most, as the vegetables quickly turn into a uniform puree. Add this puree to the minced meat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4
Slightly squeeze the bread to remove excess milk (or you may not squeeze it at all—the patties will turn out juicier) and pass it through the meat grinder as well. Add it to the meat mixture together with the egg.

Step 5
Mix the resulting mixture thoroughly with your hands. It will be more liquid than regular meatball mixture. Don't worry, you've done everything correctly. Your patties will turn out juicy and tender.
