Place the bread slices in a small bowl and pour a splash of water or milk over them. Let them soak for a minute, then squeeze out any excess liquid and mash the bread with a fork.
In a medium bowl, combine the pork mince, mashed bread, egg, sour cream, salt, and pepper. If using, add the finely minced onion and dried herbs now.
Mix everything together really well until the mixture is cohesive. Don't be afraid to get your hands in there!
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties or fritters from the mince mixture, about 2-3 cm thick.
Carefully place the fritters into the hot pan. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the fritters hot, maybe with a dollop of that leftover sour cream on top!
💡 Pro Tips:
- 🔥 Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the fritters – this helps them get a nice crust!
- 🕰️ Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook in batches if necessary to ensure they brown nicely.
- 🧅 Adding a finely minced small onion (if you have one!) to the mix before cooking gives extra flavor points!
- ✨ For a little something extra, try serving these with a simple side salad or some pickles!
