How To Make Russian Meat Patties (Kotlety)

Instructions How To Make Russian Meat Patties:

1. Put bread slices in a small bowl with water.
2. Put the ground meat in another bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Add the egg and onion to the meat. Take the bread slices out of the water and add to the meat.
4. Mix the meat mixture with your hands until everything is combined.
5. Put breadcrumbs on a plate.
6. Preheat the oil in 2 large non-stick frying pans (1 tbsp of oil in each pan) over medium-high heat.
7. With your hands, form the meat mixture into patties one at a time, put each meat patty on a plate with breadcrumbs, then flip and put another side in breadcrumbs, so the meat patties are coated with breadcrumbs on both sides.
8. Put meat patties on the frying pan so they are not touching. Pan-fry for 7 minutes on each side (or until cooked through – no longer pink in center).
