1 lb freshly minced beef
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons heavy cream
4 tablespoons finely chopped boiled potatoes
3 tablespoons finely chopped pickled beets or boiled beetroots
2 tablespoons grated onions
1 tablespoon capers
salt, white pepper
butter (for frying)

Mix all ingredients and make four nicely shaped, high burgers. Fry them at once in lots of butter (they should not be made in advance). They should be medium rare inside. Serve the beef with the butter they fried in and fried potatoes, or on a toast. You can also put a fried egg on top.
