1 kg of potatoes
4 large onions

Peel the potatoes, cut into cubes and bring to a boil. The mashed potatoes are made into a puree. Put oil in a saucepan and fry a few larger onions. To a quarter of the potatoes add the fried onion, salt and pepper. Put the eggs, flour, baking powder over the remaining puree and mix. A soft shell is obtained. Make small balls, flatten them, and put them in the middle of the potato filling with onions. The meatballs are then formed and fried in hot oil. They are served as a side dish to meat.
