Step 1

Preparation:

Step 3

Step 1: Prepare the Meat Filling

Step 4

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they turn translucent and soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Next, add the ground beef (or your chosen meat) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally until the meat is fully browned and cooked through — this should take about 6–8 minutes.

Step 6

Optional: Once the meat is cooked, stir in freshly chopped parsley to add a burst of freshness and aroma. Set the filling aside to cool slightly before assembling the pancakes.

Step 7

Step 2: Make the Dough

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cold mashed potatoes with one large egg, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until a soft, pliable dough forms.

Step 9

Note: If your dough feels too sticky, you can add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s easy to handle but still soft.

Step 10

Step 3: Shape the Pancakes

Step 11

Dust your hands and your working surface lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mashed potato dough and flatten it into a circle about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center.

Step 12

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it, then shape it into a flattened patty. Make sure the meat is fully sealed inside to prevent leaks during cooking. Repeat the process until all dough and filling are used up — you should end up with 8 to 10 pancakes, depending on size.

Step 13

Step 4: Pan-Fry

Step 14

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the pancakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 15

Cook each pancake for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 16

Step 5: Serve

Step 17

Serve your mashed potato pancakes hot and fresh from the pan, ideally with a dollop of sour cream, plain yogurt, or a tangy dipping sauce like tzatziki or garlic aioli. These pancakes are best enjoyed warm, when the crispy exterior contrasts perfectly with the tender potato and juicy meat filling inside.
