2 hard boiled eggs (, diced)

1 egg (, slightly beaten)

Juice of a lemon

Method

In a Dutch oven or a large pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion over medium heat for 1 minute.

Add the ground meat and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook covered over medium heat for 15 minutes.

Once the meat is cooked, add the parsley and hard-boiled eggs. Mix and set aside.

Cook the potatoes with their skin in a large volume of boiling water.

Once cooked, peel the potatoes and puree them with a potato masher.

Add the lemon juice and the lightly beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until slightly firmed.

Take a small amount of puree. Form a ball and flatten it into a disc.

Place 1 teaspoon of ground meat in the center of the potato and close to form a cylinder or torpedo.

Prepare 2 plates, one with the flour, the other with the eggs

Heat a large bath of oil in a pot over high heat.

Gently roll each banatage, first in the flour, delicately removing the excess flour.

Then, roll them in the eggs and fry them for a couple minutes, or until golden.
