About Bergedil

Bergedil is a deep-fried potato patty that originates from Malay and Indonesian cuisines. It is typically made by combining mashed potatoes with minced meat, seasonings, and sometimes herbs, then coated with beaten egg before frying. It is commonly served as a side dish or accompaniment to rice-based meals like Nasi Tumpeng or Soto Ayam. Nutritionally, bergedil provides a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats, offering approximately 200 calories per serving. It contains 5g of protein, useful for repairing tissues, alongside modest amounts of fiber (3g) for digestive health and iron (1mg) essential for red blood cell production. Although fried, bergedil includes some micronutrients such as calcium, vitamin C, and iron depending on the ingredients used, but is generally considered a high-energy comfort food rather than a nutrient-dense dish.
