Step 1:

How do you make breaded pork patties? Cut the pork into medium-sized chunks, then peel the onions and quarter them. That's all the prep you need for the meat mixture.
Step 2:

Put the meat and onion in a blender and pulse until ground. A meat grinder works too. I did it in two batches, running it on low for about 15 seconds each. The meat came out finely ground, which is what keeps the patties juicy.
Step 3:

Transfer the ground meat to a bowl, crack in the egg, and add the bread crumb soaked in milk. Season with salt and your spices — I used a peppercorn blend that I ground fresh from the pepper mill.
Step 4:

Mix the meat with your hands until it's evenly combined. It shouldn't be dry — that depends on the pork: if the meat has some fat, the mixture will be nicely juicy; if it's very lean, work in a splash of water. Taste a tiny bit for salt and adjust if needed. The mixture is ready.
Step 5:

Scoop up a handful of the mixture and shape it into an oblong patty, flattening it slightly so it cooks through faster and more evenly. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each patty in them to coat all sides. Use up all the meat — I got 8 patties.
Step 6:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet — I added all 50 ml at once. Once it's hot enough, lay in the first batch of patties. Turn the heat to just below medium and fry the patties for 5 minutes on one side.
Step 7:

Flip the patties, lower the heat, cover the pan, and fry another 5 minutes. That's enough time for them to cook through. Remove the finished patties and fry the next batch the same way — I didn't need to add more oil. Arrange the cooked patties on a serving plate.

These tasty breaded pork patties make a great lunch or dinner.
To round out the meal, serve them with a side (mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, buckwheat, barley, bulgur, and so on) and be sure to add vegetables — fresh or pickled.
