Step by step
Method
- 1
Saute the beef: heat a little oil in a pan and fry the chopped shallot until soft and fragrant. Add the minced beef and cook until it changes colour and browns slightly. Remove and set aside.

Fry and mash the potatoes: in the same or a separate pan, fry the potato wedges until cooked through and soft. Transfer to a bowl and mash until smooth.

Mix the filling: add the sauteed minced beef to the mashed potato along with white pepper, salt and sliced celery leaves. Mix and knead until well combined.

Add Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes to the mixture, or tuck it into the centre of each bergedel as a filling. Shape the mixture into rounds or flat patties as you like.

Coat and fry: crack the egg into a bowl and beat lightly. Dip each bergedel into the egg and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain the oil.

Top with cheese and bake: arrange the bergedel in a baking tray, place Perfect Italiano Perfect Melt on top of each one and bake until the cheese melts and browns slightly.
