Potato pancakes with meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Potatoes can be used to make a variety of delicious, simple dishes—from potato pancakes and draniki to potato patties and zrazy. By the way, the latter two are quite similar; essentially, they're potato cutlets with a filling. To prepare meat-filled potato patties, I recommend using lean veal or young beef. You can also use pork, but the result will be fattier. Alternatively, you can make these potato patties with chicken. It's better to use boiled meat, as the filling will be healthier than if made with fried meat. Serve hot.
