Ingredients
  • 5 big potatoes
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 garlic cut finely
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 chopped hard-boiled egg
  • ½ cup white rice
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup wheat flour
Instructions
  1. Prepare a potato puree: wash, peel, cut into chunks, and cook in water with salt until they soften.
  2. Smoosh the potatoes so they become a puree. Let them cool.
  3. Sauté the ground beef along with the tomatoes and the chopped garlic. Season with cumin and salt to taste.
  4. Add the rice and hard-boiled egg to the meat. Mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Create a little ball out of the potato puree. Make a little opening so you can add the mix of the ground beef, rice, and egg.
  6. Close the hole with a little bit of puree, making sure it is well-shut.
  7. Repeat the process with the rest of the puree.
  8. In a bowl, beat the raw egg with the milk, wheat flour, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Dip the balls of filled puree through the mixture, and then fry in hot oil. Let them fry until they are golden brown.
  10. Once ready, place on a paper towel so the paper can absorb extra juices.
  11. Serve immediately.
