Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes

  • oil, for frying

  • 2 onions, diced small

  • 2 pounds ground meat (or, as pictured, 1 pound ground meat, 1 pound ground chicken)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • pepper, to taste

  • 1 onion, grated

Directions

Prepare the Burgers

1.

Boil potatoes, in their skins, until fork tender. While still hot, but manageable, rice potatoes onto a baking sheet (alternatively, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher). Let cool. The potatoes will harden a bit as they cool but that’s good, it helps with the texture.

2.

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and fry until golden. Set aside.

3.

In a large bowl, combine meat, eggs, spices, and onion. Add three tablespoons of the fried onions to the mix (if you prefer a smoother texture, you can puree the fried onions in a food processor first).

4.

Lastly, add the riced potatoes. Stir well to combine.

5.

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add burgers and fry, about 10 minutes per side. Don’t try to rush them or they will break.

Notes:

My mother-in-law likes to fry lots of onions for Passover. She keeps them refrigerated in a jar and uses them as needed to flavor different foods. This is a great substitute when spices are limited or not used.

Prepare the Burgers

Yield: about 30 mini-burgers

Depends on your taste Yehudis. I personally would love this with a tehina style sauce. But a spicy mustard would go well too.
