Description

This frikadellen recipe with ground pork and beef, onion, parsley, egg, and hot paprika makes a batch of delicious pan-fried German meat patties.

Ingredients

1 Kaiser roll
2/3 pound ground beef
1/3 pound ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
1 teaspoon Hungarian hot paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Soak kaiser roll in a medium bowl of water for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water; crumble into a large bowl.
2 Add ground meats, onion, parsley, egg, paprika, salt, and black pepper to crumbled roll; mix until well blended. Shape mixture into large flattened meatballs.
3 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry meatballs in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a patty should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
