MY FAVOURITE POTATO PATTIES

Bergedil Kentang (Potato Patties)

Mee Soto Ayam

When the special menu at the school canteen is Mee Soto Ayam, I would order the potato patties that are accompaniments to this dish.  I don't eat chicken and so the Mee Soto Ayam is not for me.  But ... I love the Bergedil Kentang or Potato Patties.  They are oily and greasy but what to do, I can't resist them.

I have not made them before and looked up the recipe just now.  The recipe was in the Malay language and I have translated it here.
