Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Meanwhile, peel all the onions and dice them into small cubes. Place the minced meat in a bowl and mix with half of the onions. Add the eggs and knead the mixture thoroughly. Add enough breadcrumbs to form a pliable meat dough. Season with broth granules, salt, and pepper, and knead vigorously again. Heat the oil in a pan. Form meatballs from the meat dough and fry them until crispy on both sides. If you’re not sure whether the patties are cooked through, cut one in half and check. Keep the finished patties warm in the oven. Peel the potatoes, chop them, and place them in a large salad bowl. Chop the cucumbers and add them with the remaining onions. Dissolve the broth granules in boiling water in a large mug and add this to the potatoes. Add salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. Mix everything together thoroughly and season to taste.
