Russian Meat Patties

Step 1: 1lb Ground meat - 80% beef/veal/pork mix (more fat content is better)

Step 2: Combine meat with 1 egg, salt, pepper, chopped parsley/dill/cilantro, garlic and mix by hand. Thoroughly mixing with hands makes patties fluffier later

Step 3: Soak ~1 cup bread crumbs in some milk and add to mixture from step (2). Add a bit of water. 

Step 4: Heat up oil on pan, hand-make small patties, and fry until both sides are brown

 Check thickest patty for readiness by cutting it in half

Step 5: Serve with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables (cucumbers or tomatoes)

Alternative serving suggestions - brussel sprouts!
