These mustard pork patties are simple ground pork patties mixed with finely diced raw potatoes and onions. A milk-soaked small white loaf, known as veka in Slovakia, and an egg bind the mixture, while a tablespoon of mustard adds flavor. Soak the bread half an hour ahead; shaping and frying the patties in hot oil is quick. One kilogram of meat serves six people.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Soak the bread in the milk for half an hour. Peel the onions and potatoes, dice them finely, and mix them into the ground pork.
Mix the meat thoroughly with the soaked bread and egg, then season with mustard, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet and shape the meat mixture into patties with your hands.
Fry the patties in the hot oil until golden brown.

Tip: Squeeze the soaked bread before adding it to the meat, as excess milk would make the mixture too loose. Shape the patties fairly thin so the raw potatoes soften and the meat cooks all the way through during frying.
