FRIKADELLEN (GERMAN MEAT PATTIES) image

A very good friend passed this recipe along to me recently. I have read that the German immigrants brought this to America with them in the form of Hamburg steak, which was Americanized to hamburger. So this is a German hamburger. Photo: http://www.bavariankitchen.com/
