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 ..

2 lbs potato,peeled ,cut and boiled
30 gm dried shrimps,washed and pounded

Your potato cutlets look so crunchy on outside and soft in the middle. Just perfect!

Oh, y'know what!! I made some begedel ikan of Indonesian origin! Just haven't gotten around to blog about it though ... And I never knew "begedel" is spelled "begedil." LOL!

I had this before. Very yummy and healthy.
I like making this on my lazy days and we eat it like a meal with so sirachi. Carlos love this but I always add some can tuna to it. I don't think he want it with udang kering. I too remember eating this from the nasi campur stall or mee soto but I think they sometime add chicken liver to it, right?
Never knew the Malay name for it but I love to eat it. Your version looks yummy =)
Whenever I visit those Malay rice stalls, this is one item that I will usually order. Miss those days. Can't even get a decent Chinese rice stall in CA, where to get a Malay one?
