Beef Rissoles

Syns Per Serving: Extra Easy - FREE
Ingredients
• 700gm small floury potatoes, such as Desiree, scrubbed
• 1 large egg, beaten

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain well, allow to cool a little, peel and mash to a smooth purée. Leave to cool, then mix in the beaten egg, season and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-low heat. Fry the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and mince, increase the heat to high and fry for 5-6 minutes, or until lightly browned all over.

4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Tip the mince into the mash and mix well. Divide into 12 portions, shape each into a ball and roll into a rissole. Place on the baking tray, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or overnight if you can.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Spray the rissoles with low-calorie cooking spray and bake for around 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
