Sorry for late reply. I have never broiled them so I cannot say for sure if the potato will cook inside. Merry Christmas.

What if I browned them under a broiler instead of frying?

My family and I love keftedes. I have made them with a mixture of lamb and veal and they are good as well! Thank you for sharing ;-)

Hi, Ivy! I too have made Keftedes, but without the potatoes; I have several recipes for them, but always felt that "something' was missing....Thanks for the recipe!!

Ah, I found an easy way to do it. I let my husband do it for me (lol). Well you can do it the Greek way. Instead of using potatoes, soak bread after removing crust. Then squeeze well to remove water. The Greek ones don't put mint and cinnamon but put oregano instead.

I really love keftedes and I make them often myself. I always use cinnamon and mint, but I never have the patience to grate the potatoes by hand. Unfortunately, you can't get that fluffy, chunky texture any other way.
