Malaysian Potato Meat Cakes (Bergedil)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Calling all potato lovers! Here’s a recipe that you definitely have to try. These hockey-puck-shaped potato meat cakes are called Bergedil, a Malaysian specialty. You can have them on its own, dipping into whatever sauce you prefer, or you can pair it with other dishes.

It’s originally from Indonesia, known as Perkedel, with variations that include mashed potatoes, ground meat, corn, tofu, and fish.

My favorite way to eat bergedil is with Soto Ayam, which is a flavorful chicken noodle soup. The Soto soup softens the potato meat cake, making each bite a wholesome and tasty delight.

This bergedil recipe is one that my family uses, and reminds me so much of home. It’s definitely one of my comfort foods, making me feel a little closer to home. Well, at least until my husband and I can travel to visit our family again.

It’s so good that I’m always tempted to snack on it once I’ve just lifted them from the pan. Hope you’ll have a go at it!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
