Begedil is a Malay name for potato cutlet or potato patties .It's a popular side snack sold everywhere at Malay hawker stall or food court in Malaysia and Singapore. I recalled I used to eat this snack many year ago at nasi campur (mix rice) stall at food court. Since I have 3 bags of 5 lbs Idaho potato at home,I might as well try to make begedil with it.I didn't realised I have 3 bags of 5 pound potato sitting at the corner of my kitchen. Each time when shopping at food market I'm sure grab a bag of potato without checking if I still have potato at home. I'm not the kind of person who will list down my shopping list before I went food shopping.I guess you can said I'm not use to it or don't have habit to carry list when shopping.I'm the person who buy what I see on the spot. Well,I better hurry up and use up as much as I can before it's grow sprouts. To my surprised hubby love this fried potato patties.It's never cross my mind that hubby will eat food with turmeric powder ..
