Coarsely grate the potato and onion and place in a bowl. Add the minced meat, vinegar and tomato paste, the beaten egg, breadcrumbs, herbs, and pepper. Season with salt to taste. Knead for three minutes until well blended. Cover with foil and refrigerate for one hour. Scoop out portions with a tablespoon, roll into balls, flatten, and pinch the ends. Coat in flour.

When cooked through, carefully lift them out of the pan, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm until ready to serve.
