Rissoles, with spuds in them?
« on: March 22, 2014, 14:16 »
I remember really enjoying my mother's rissoles.

She passed away at a great age eight years back.
I have one of her old cookery books, but alas, no rissole recipe therein.

I recall her mincing cold roast joint leftover meat, blending it [by hand!] with boiled potato and chopped parsley.
Then, she formed this mixture into the rissoles, which she dipped in whisked egg, covered in breadcrumbs, and fried them.
Yummy!

I have looked on the internet, but all the recipes for rissoles I have found do not use potatoes.

Has anyone got a rissole recipe with spuds that they can share?

Or can anyone point me to an online source?

I've checked a lot of recipes for rissoles and they're all pretty much the same, but none include the potatoes you remember. I suspect your mum made her own adaptation, possibly to stretch out the meat a bit more and/or use up leftover potatoes.

Newer recipes seem to favour ground meat rather than joints but anything can be used. Since most recipes seem the same, just substitute what you remember and enjoy.

My mum added mashed potatoes - much like making fishcakes. It made a little meat go a long way  ;)

this recipe looks about right   :) although I haven't tried it - and she used cooked leftover roast minced in one of the old wind round mincers screwed to the kitchen work top  :lol:

I have used this recipe from my 40 year old Good Housekeeping cookery book and it was good. I couldn't find it online to give a link.
  • 8-12 oz cooked mince beef
  • half small onion, skinned and grated
  • 1 lb potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 tbsp sweet pickle or table sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • beaten egg
  • dry breadcrumbs for coating
  • shallow fat for frying
Mix the meat, onion and potatoes and add the pickle or sauce and a generous amount of seasoning.  Blend well. Turn onto a floured board, form into a roll and cut into slices about an inch thick.  Coat with beaten egg and then crumbs. Fry till golden brown.

My mum made rissoles with potato and onion too.  From what I can remember it was just minced cooked beef, masked potatoes and finely chopped onion.  The onion was not cooked beforehand and you could taste it in the rissoles.

We didn't have the luxury of egg and breadcrumbs, just dipped in flour and fried till crunchy on the outside and lovely and soft inside.... gosh I'm going to have to make some next time we have beef so I can have a trip down memory lane

Thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions. 

I'll try to post back with results, once I've found a good hand mincer . . . .
