Juicy beef patties with mustard and potato salad.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g ground beef
• 1 stale bread roll
• 1 onion
• 1 egg
• Mustard
• Clarified butter

Instructions

1. Soak the bread roll in water and squeeze very well; dice the onion finely.
2. Knead the ground beef with the roll, onion, egg, mustard, salt and pepper thoroughly until the mixture binds.
3. With wet hands, form 8 flat frikadellen.
4. Heat clarified butter over medium heat and fry the frikadellen for 5–6 min per side until nicely browned and cooked through.
5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot – potato salad or a roll goes well with it.
