Homemade frikkadels are versatile and easy to make.
Frikkadels are one of those recipes many South Africans make without thinking twice, yet they can still be surprisingly easy to get wrong.
A batch that's dry in the middle or falls apart in the pan is enough to put anyone off making them again.
The good news is that a reliable frikkadel recipe doesn't need a long list of ingredients or complicated techniques.
Once you've mastered the basics, these beef patties can be served with creamy mashed potato and onion gravy, spooned over with tomato smoor, added to a simple pasta sauce or made into bite-sized snacks for platters.
