Indonesian vegetable fritters From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Perkedel are vegetable fritters from Indonesian cuisine.[1] They are most commonly made from mashed potatoes;[2][3] however, there are other popular variations, such as perkedel jagung (peeled maize perkedel), perkedel tahu (tofu perkedel), and perkedel ikan (minced fish perkedel). The dish is called begedil in Javanese as well as in Malaysia and Singapore, suggesting that this fried dish was introduced by Javanese immigrants to Malaysia and Singapore.

Origin
Perkedel is believed to be derived from Dutch frikadellen,[3][2] which is actually a Dutch meatball or minced meat dish. This was owed to Indonesian historical and colonial link to the Netherlands. Unlike frikadellen, the perkedel's main ingredient is not meat, but mashed potato.[2]
Ingredients
Prior to mashing, the potato slices, however, are not boiled as that can cause the perkedel to be too mushy, but deep fried or baked instead. The mashed fried potato is mixed, as much as 1:1 ratio, with ground meat or corned beef.[2] However, sometimes common perkedel contains less or no meat at all. The mixture is then mixed with chopped scallion and seasoned with white pepper powder, then shaped into flat round patties and dipped in egg yolk or beaten egg, before being deep fried.
Other than mashed potato, cabe rawit, spring onion, shrimp, fish, peeled corn, or mashed tofu fritters are also common as perkedel ingredients.
