The German Meatball is not actually a ball - it looks more like a disk. It is one of my favorite childhood foods and I keep on making these for private dinners, big brunches, a party gift, picnicks,... you get the idea: easy to prepare, store, and take around, hot or cold, goes with almost anything. A taste of Germany - enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 10-12 meatballs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

500 g minced beef (better even, half beef, half pork)
1 old rolls or 1 dry white bread
milk
1 onion
1 carrot
1 teaspoon mustard
2 -3 eggs
salt
fresh ground black pepper
other spices

Steps:

  • Start by soaking the dry bread with some lukewarm milk (takes around 20 min). When done, quench the milk out of the bread.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop onions and sauté with some oil or butter in a pan until they are transparent. Shred the carrot and sauté with the onions until soft. Let cool.
  • Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.
  • Add spices to taste. Remember: add a little more salt than you think you should. The frying will take off some salt, so it prevents the meatballs from tasting boring.
  • Now heat margarine or butter in a non-stick pan, form disks from the meat dough (approx 10 cm diameter, 2-3 cm high) and fry thoroughly from both sides.
  • Serving suggestion: with mashed potatoes and baby carrots with peas.

Tips:

  • When choosing potatoes, look for ones that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.
  • Be sure to wring the grated potatoes out well in a cheesecloth-lined colander to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • If the potato mixture is too wet, it will be difficult to form into patties.
  • If the potato mixture is too dry, you can add a little bit of milk or water to help bind it together.
  • Be careful not to overcook the potato pancakes, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the potato pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Fleischkuechle are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, fleischkuechle are sure to be a hit.
