• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chicken soup powder (boullion granules)
• 2 eggs
• 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
• oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 finely grate the potato and the onion.
• 2 mix all ingredients together well, either by hand or with a mixer.
• 3 you can chill this for an hour or so in the fridge, but i don't usually do so.
• 4 roll into small balls (if i were measuring there'd probably be betwen a teaspoon and a tablespoon of meat mixture for each one).
• 5 flatten ever so slightly.
• 6 roll the meat into balls/patties before you start to fry.
• 7 heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan-- put in a layer of meatballs and fry for approximately 5 minutes on each side.
• 8 if you use a very large pan you can fry them all up in 2 or 3 batches.
• 9 if your pan is smaller, however, you may need to change oil halfway through to prevent the later batches from getting too brown on the outside before they're thoroughly cooked inside.
