A very good friend passed this recipe along to me recently. I have read that the German immigrants brought this to America with them in the form of Hamburg steak, which was Americanized to hamburger. So this is a German hamburger. Photo: http://www.bavariankitchen.com/

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 brotchen (german rolls - or you may substitute it with 2 slices of white bread)
2 onions
1 lb hamburger
1 egg
salt, pepper, paprika to taste
1/4 c oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, soak the roll or bread in cold water. Peel the onion and dice it fine.
  • 2. Squeeze out the bread and add it along with the onion to the hamburger meat. Add the egg, season with the spices to taste.
  • 3. With wet hands form four meat patties. Heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the meat patties on both sides, about 10 minutes or until meat is done.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality meat for the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the bread in milk or water before adding it to the meat mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and keep the patties moist.
  • Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the patties.
  • Form the meat mixture into patties that are about 1-inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter. Be sure to handle the meat mixture gently to avoid overworking it.
  • Cook the patties over medium heat in a lightly greased skillet. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
  • Flip the patties once during cooking, and cook until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. The internal temperature of the patties should reach 160°F (71°C).
  • Serve the patties immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Frikadellen 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 own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give frikadellen a try!
