Do you know that many Indonesian cuisines influenced by other country? We have 'peranakan food' which influence by china. Some food also influences by Indian food and Arabic. And since Dutch colonial were in Indonesia long time ago, many Dutch influence in our cuisine heritage also. 

Like previously I mentioned on my last post, I shared some "dutch influence" foods in my previous post, like Oliebollen, Kaastengels, Kroketten, Bitterballen, and much more


Perkedel came from Dutch language, frikadel. Frikadel originally from Europe which is made from minced meat and fried. But in Indonesia we adapted that food according to our taste and our common ingredients. This perkedel made from mashed potatoes mix with minced meat then we fry it. Commonly we eat this as side dish or complement of Nasi tumpeng or nasi kuning (yellow rice)

And since I didn't make this perkedel so long..I kinda miss and crave about it... And also I wanna introduce more food variety as many as I can to my little girl. And if you want to make this vegetarian version you just can skip minced meat and just go ahead with use only potatoes.
