Perkedel Kentang Kornet Sapi (Indonesian Corned Beef Potato Fritters)
Ingredients:
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small can corned beef
- 4 shallots
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- Salt to taste
- Flavor enhancer (optional, to taste)
- 1 or 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- Oil for frying
Steps:

-
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and fry until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Mash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, mash them until smooth. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Aromatics: Finely chop the shallots and garlic. You can use a food processor to make this step easier. Set aside.
-
Process the Corned Beef: Using a fork or a food processor, mash the corned beef until it’s finely shredded. Set aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, finely chopped shallots, garlic, and the shredded corned beef. Add ground black pepper, salt, and flavor enhancer (if using). Mix well. Add the egg yolk to bind the mixture together. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Form the Fritters: Shape the potato mixture into small patties or balls, depending on your preference.
-
Coat and Fry: Dip each patty into the beaten egg whites, ensuring they are fully coated. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Tips: Fry the fritters on a low to medium heat to ensure they cook through without absorbing too much oil. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning and to achieve a nice, crispy exterior.
