Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into small pieces. Boil in salted water for about 25 minutes, then drain, let steam off slightly, and press while hot into a bowl using a potato masher. Mix in flour and eggs, knead into a smooth dough, and season with salt and pepper. Peel and finely chop the shallot; sauté in hot butter until translucent. Combine the shallot, bacon cubes, ground meat, and breadcrumbs; season with salt and pepper.
