作法
- 以1小匙油將絞牛肉與半量紅蔥頭、半量蒜頭炒4分鐘至金黃。瀝去多餘油脂後放涼。
- 將馬鈴薯泥與煮好的牛肉、剩餘紅蔥頭與蒜頭、青蔥、西芹葉、白胡椒、肉豆蔻粉、鹽和一顆蛋黃混合。以手徹底拌勻。
- 捏成長6公分、寬3公分、厚2公分的橢圓形肉餅。橢圓形是perkedel的標誌——而非扁平圓餅。
- 於淺碟中將第二顆全蛋打散。寬底鍋中加入2公分高的油，加熱至170°C。
- 將每片肉餅沾蛋液後甩去多餘蛋液，小心放入熱油。分批煎避免擁擠——通常一次4片。
- 每面煎3分鐘至深金黃酥脆。蛋液外衣應形成薄薄琥珀色脆殼。瀝於架上。每片頂上撒一小撮油蔥酥。作為米飯與咖哩的配菜——perkedel是配菜般的存在，非主菜。

文化背景
Perkedel是荷蘭語借詞（frikadel）——這道菜由荷蘭殖民者帶入，被印尼廚師調整為馬鈴薯與肉的比例以適應當地經濟。它如今已是印尼的固定菜色，與soto、gado-gado和米飯並陳。蛋液裹粉煎製可形成特殊的金黃光亮表層；少了這層蛋衣，肉餅會煎得不均。Perkedel是配菜中少有主角光環卻始終存在的角色。
