Stuffed potato pancakes
Description
To make potato pancakes, you will need mashed potatoes; it is best to prepare it in advance so it can cool thoroughly. Warm batter is difficult to work with—it is very delicate. But if you keep dusting your hands with flour, everything goes easily and quickly. These pancakes can be frozen ahead of time, then taken out of the freezer when needed and fried in oil until golden brown. See all the details in the recipe—give it a try

In a dry skillet, brown the ground meat with the onion; add salt and pepper to taste. Break up the meat clumps with a spoon, stirring. As it cooks, the meat will release plenty of fat and the onion will fry nicely.

Drain all the water from the potatoes, add a piece of butter and mash them into a puree with a masher. Tip! Do not use a blender, otherwise the potatoes will become very sticky and won't be suitable for the recipe.

Step 7
Take two tablespoons of potato dough in your hands so it doesn’t stick to your hands, and lightly dip them in flour. Flatten it, add the meat filling (about 1 heaping tablespoon), and pinch the edge closed as for pasties or vareniki.

I ended up with 10 large stuffed pancakes, but you can also make them smaller, in which case you will get more. If you lay the pancakes on a board, dust the board very well with flour. Some people may find it more convenient to shape and fry them straight away—that is fine too. If the pancakes sit on the board for a long time, they may stick—bear that in mind.
