Begedil (Malaysian Deep Fried Potato Patty) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 kg potato, peeled washed and cut into circles
1 bunch spring onion, chopped finely
half bunch cilantro, chopped finely
1/2 cup fried shallots
egg, beaten and used for coating purposes before deep drying (at least 2)
white pepper
black pepper
salt
enough oil (for frying)

Preparation

Most people deep fry the potatoes,drain the oil and then mash them in a dry bowl. Boiling ,however is a healthier alternative and I have done it a lot of times. Works either way.
Throw in all the chopped ingredients including shallots and mix thoroughly.
Season well and shape into medium sized balls with the palms of your hands before flattening.
Coat begedil in the beaten eggs and fry till lightly browned.
