Ingredients 

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 medium onion finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup white fresh bread crumbs or 2-3 slices of bread soaked in water
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 cup bread crumbs for coating the patties
  • 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients before starting recipe,
  • If using stale bread, soak bread in water.
  • Mix ground pork, chopped onion, grated garlic, paprika, black pepper and salt in medium mixing bowl.
  • Add one whole egg and squeeze water from stale bread and add to pork, or if using fresh bread crumbs, add to pork.

Mixing Ingredients

  • Mix all ingredients together by hand. Do not over mix, just enough to blend in pepper, paprika salt and egg.

Forming and frying

  • Pour oil in large frying pan over high heat and heat over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes. There should be enough oil in the pan to come about half way up the sides of the meat patties
  • Form individual patties about 1 1/2" in diameter and roll in the dry bread crumbs until all surfaces are covered
  • Test oil by dropping a small crumb of patty into oil, if the oil sizzles, add patties one at a time. Fry for 3-4 minutes, check the patties from time to time and if they are golden brown, turn them over.
  • Fry the second side, checking for color periodically. Note that the second side will fry faster than the first.

Plating

  • Remove patties to a paper towel to drain and the move to a platter to serve.
