Instructions

  1. The mashed potatoes must be cold, so the leftovers from the day before are very suitable. Finely chop the onion, garlic, eggs, mustard and spices in a blender or with a magic wand. Mix everything well with the minced meat and mashed potatoes, knead really well with your hands.
  2. Moisten your hands and form small sausages out of the minced meat, taking approx. 1 heaped tablespoon of minced meat in the palm of your hand and shaping them. Then turn the meatloaf in the breadcrumbs.
  3. Fry these either directly in the deep fryer or in a pan with plenty of oil until they are golden brown. Great for parties but also as a delicious meatball alternative.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
