Ingredients: (6 servings)
- lean ground lamb or beef, 500 grams
- small potatoes, 500 grams
- medium eggs, 3-4
- medium onions, 2-3
- chopped parsley, 2 spoons
- bread crumbs, one cup
- cooking oil
- Salt

Directions:
Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes over high heat until they soften, then peel and mash them. Peel and grate onions. Add to potatoes with eggs, salt, black pepper, parsley, and meat. Mix well until the mix is quite even.
Remove balls from the mix about 4-5 cm in diameter. Spread bread crumbs on a flat surface. Roll each ball in bread crumbs until it is fully covered. Shape the ball into an ellipse with a thickness of 1 cm.
Heat up cooking oil in a frying pan. Fry each kotlet over medium heat on both sides until golden. Serve with parsley, sliced tomatoes, and flat bread.
