Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

1kg mixed mincemeat (500gr pork, 500gr beef)

3-4 medium size potatoes grated and drained of all liquid

¾ of a batch finely chopped parsley

2 slices of bread soaked in water and drained until reduced to crumbs

2 finely chopped onions

2 eggs

A handful of dried spearmint

Salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg

Sunflower oil

Preparation:

After we grate and salt the potatoes, we drain them and put them in a bowl where we have already seasoned the mincemeat with salt and pepper.

We then add the remaining ingredients, parsley, bread crumbs, onions, eggs, spearmint and cumin.

We knead the ingredients together until we get a homogenized mix and then we take small amounts of the mixture and give it a round or oval shape and we proceed by frying them in hot oil.
