Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash while still warm.
Step 2
Fold green onions and flour into mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool 2 minutes, then shape into 8–10 oval patties.
Step 3
Heat 0.25 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry perkedel in batches until golden-brown on both sides, about 3 minutes total.
Step 4
While perkedel cooks, boil rice in salted water according to package directions (typically 12–15 minutes). Drain and keep warm.
Step 5
Steam green beans in a separate pot or microwave 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Divide rice, green beans, and perkedel among plates. Serve with tomato sambal on the side.
