Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash with salt and pepper until smooth.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, brown ground beef with diced onion in a skillet over medium heat, breaking up clumps, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir half the cilantro and a pinch each of salt and pepper into the cooked beef. Let cool slightly.
Step 4
Shape mashed potatoes into 8 balls. Flatten each into a disc, add 1 tbsp beef filling, fold edges and seal into a ball.
Step 5
Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry potato balls 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Whisk mayo with lime zest, lime juice, and remaining cilantro for green sauce. Whisk plain mayo with salt for white sauce. Serve both alongside hot potatoes.
