Eastern European Kotlety image

While growing up, my Polish-Russian grandmother, who lived with our family, made these little meat patties quite often and they were a family favorite. Here is my rendition, from what I remember when cooking with Grandma, as she never wrote the recipe down. The patties were always served with mashed potatoes, green beans, applesauce, and, of course, plenty of ketchup for the patties.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kotlety fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I might have needed to cook them for a bit longer before flipping.

These kotlety were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I might have used too much oil when frying them.

These kotlety were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them. Next time, I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
