Crispy Beef and Potato Patties

Ingredients:

• 2 large potatoes (Hong Kong variety, roughly the size of sweet potatoes)
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 200 grams of beef, finely minced
• 1 egg
• For the Beef Marinade:
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• For the Patties:
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Cornstarch, to taste
  • Cooking oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Peel the potatoes and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
   • Grate the potatoes coarsely and set aside.

2. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, combine the minced beef with soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for a few minutes.

3. Sauté the Onion:

   • Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pan until golden brown. Allow it to cool.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, marinated beef, sautéed onions, egg, and the seasoning for the patties (salt, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch). Mix everything until well combined.

5. Form Patties:

   • Shape the mixture into flat patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

6. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over low to medium heat.
   • Fry the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve warm as a delicious main dish or side.
