-In a large bowl start by adding the Ground Meat, Onion Potato & Garlic Mix, All the spices, the chicken consume and half the Matzo meal, you may need more Matzo Meal if the mixture is too wet, so keep it handy
-Once everything is in a Bowl, mix until very well combined. Then let the prepared mixture sit in the fridge for 30 minutes so the flavors get to know each other a bit
-Prepare your skillet/frying pan by adding an inch of oil and preheat it to a medium high heat.
