Prepare some hamburger as follows:
Sauté chopped onions and green (red/yellow) peppers until the onions are limp. Add chopped garlic, ground beef, salt, cumin, oregano & black pepper. When the meat is cooked through, drain of any excess oil. Stir in a bit of tomato paste and a drizzle of lemmon juice. (Add chopped olives and raisins now if you want authentic Cuban.) Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through then set aside.
Boil and mash potatoes and season with bouillon or spices and butter then pat into hand size mini “bowls”. Stuff one bowl with the hamburger filling and cover with another bowl of mashed potatoes to create a tennis sized ball (or golf ball). At this point all the ingredients are cooked.
Place in fridge and allow to cool then dip in egg wash and roll in seasoned bread crumbs and fry in EVOO till golden brown. Yum!
I’m assuming these are pan-fried?
They sound good!
