Potato pancakes with minced meat filling
Description
For me personally, potato pancakes with minced meat at home are always a little celebration that absolutely anyone can afford, regardless of cooking skills or financial situation. After all, even the minced meat—the most expensive ingredient here—can be replaced with anything you like: for example, you can use less meat and add more vegetables. In short, experiment! How to make potato pancakes with minced meat: 1. First, wash, peel, and chop the potatoes, onion, and carrot—potatoes can be cut in any way, while the vegetables should be finely diced. If needed, take the minced meat out to defrost. 2. Boil the potatoes in slightly salted water until tender. Meanwhile, sauté the onion and carrot in a frying pan with vegetable oil. 3. Once the onion and carrot are cooked, add the minced meat to the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and fry until fully cooked. 4. When the potatoes are ready, drain the water and mash them into a puree. 5. Add eggs and flour to the potato puree, and mix thoroughly. If desired, season the dough with a little salt and pepper. 6. Form flat rounds from the dough, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each, then seal the edges, pressing them to make the pancakes flatter. 7. Fry the pancakes on both sides in the same pan used for the sautéed vegetables. Ready! Serve with sour cream and fresh herbs—and no one will be able to resist.
