Beef & Potato Patties
This was apparently created in the US during meat rations during World War II, and it sounds really good. On my to make and taste list. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 375 grams ground beef, (3/4 lb / 12 oz)
- 375 grams potatoes, finely shredded, (3/4 lb / 12 oz)
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cup tomato juice, Shortcut
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the first 6 ingredients and using your hands, mix together well. Roughly divide into 4 parts. Remove each part and shape into a ball then flatten to make a patty, continue with the remaining parts, giving you 4 patties.
- In a large non stick pan, heat the oil on medium high heat, then working in batches if needed, add the patties to the pan and brown them on each side,
- Drain any fat from the pan, pour in the tomato juice, set to medium heat and cover and let the patties simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through (sacrifice one and cut one in half to check).
- Remove patties to a serving dish, keeping as much tomato juice in the pan as possible and cover. Whisk the flour into the 1/4 of water. then while stirring the tomato juice in the pan, slowly mix in the flour mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Spoon the sauce over the patties and serve with sides of your choice.
