Recipe
Mix together the mashed potatoes, 1 teaspoon of the salt, half the pepper, the coriander, nutmeg, parsley and egg.
Preheat a wok until hot.
Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, the shallots and garlic; saute until soft.
Add beef and stir to break up clumps; brown until meat is no longer red, about 2 minutes.
Season with remaining salt and pepper. Cool.
Combine the meat with the potato mixture.
Form into 16 balls and flatten them into cakes about 2 inches round by 1 inch thick. Set on a tray.
Refrigerate, if not fried immediately.
Pour 2 inches of oil into a preheated wok.
Heat to 365F. Add 4 or 5 cakes, or as many as will fit into the pan without crowding or reducing the temperature of the oil.
Deep fry, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
(If preferred, the cakes may be pan-fried in a flat skillet.)
Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Makes 15 cakes.
