Perkedel are vegetable fritters from Indonesian cuisine. They are most commonly made from mashed potatoes; however, there are other popular variations, such as perkedel jagung (peeled maize perkedel), perkedel tahu (tofu perkedel), and perkedel ikan (minced fish perkedel).

==Origin== Perkedel is believed to be derived from Dutch frikadellen, which is actually a Dutch meatball or minced meat dish. This was owed to Indonesian historical and colonial link to the Netherlands. Unlike frikadellen, the ''perkedel's main ingredient is not meat, but mashed potato.
