Instruction manual
1
First of all, you need to prepare potatoes. First peel it and rinse it off. Grate 500 g (half of all potatoes) on a coarse grater, and grate the remaining 500 g on a fine grater. Then put all the grated potatoes in a bowl, add salt and mix well.
2
After that, peel the onions and carrots and chop them by chopping with a knife. Including carrots can be grated on a medium grater. Put the minced meat in a separate cup, add the chicken egg, chopped carrots and onions, as well as ground black pepper, salt and mix everything.
3
Now we will form zrazy. Take a small part of the potato mass (so that it fits in the palm of your hand), squeeze it from the liquid and flatten it a little, so that it takes the form of a cake.
4
Put a little minced meat on top, evenly distribute it on a potato cake, and then again cover with potatoes, which also need to be squeezed from the liquid. Align the edges so that the meat remains inside the potato casing and give the workpiece an oblong shape. The potato layer should be thin enough so that the minced meat is well fried.
5
Form the blanks from the remaining ingredients and put them on a plate. After this, pour the sunflower oil into the pan and warm it well. Then shift the zrazy and fry them on both sides until a golden crust appears at medium temperature.
6
Serve the finished dish hot along with sour cream and vegetable salad. Such a dish is convenient in that it includes both meat and potatoes, which acts as a side dish.
