Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes
  • 4 eggs hard-boiled
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 pieces ginger
  • 1 pinch turmeric powder
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2/3 cup panko dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 splash canola oil for frying
  • 1 pinch salt *to taste

Method

  • Step 1
    Peel and boil the potatoes. Mash them well with salt and then divide into six equal portions.
  • Step 2
    Finely chop the onion and ginger, then cut each egg into 12-15 pieces.
  • Step 3
    Heat 2 tsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for two minutes. Lower heat, then add ginger, turmeric powder and 1/4 tsp of salt. Sauté until the onions are cooked well. Add eggs, toss well and remove from heat.
  • Step 4
    Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Step 5
    Cut GLAD cling wrap into 16 x 16cm square pieces. Place it in your palm, then take a portion of potato and spread it onto the GLAD cling wrap with your fingers. Place 2 to 3 tsp of egg-onion mixture on it and then seal by shaping into a ball inside the cling wrap and then slightly flatten the ball.
  • Step 6
    Slowly remove the GLAD cling wrap and then dip each ball into the egg whites and then roll in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  • Step 7
    Heat oil in a pan and then carefully place each ball into the oil and fry on both sides. Remove from oil and serve with a sauce of your choice.

Equipment

  • frying pan
Recipe Notes

You can use any oil you prefer.

Seal the mixture fully with potato otherwise it could break and the mixture might come out when you fry in the oil.

You can make this dish one day ahead of time, by flattening the balls after step 5 into sandwich bags and refrigerating.
