1 pound ground venison
1 raw potato, grated
SAUCE
1 carrot, finely diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup beef broth

1 tablespoon cornstarch
Lightly mix venison and potato and make into ¼ pound patties.
