Potatoes with meat in the oven
Description
To make the meat nicely browned and the potatoes juicy, be sure to place the potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish first, then put the meat on top. During baking, the meat will release its juices, which the sliced potatoes will absorb. If desired, you can add various spices, herbs, or seasonings to taste, as well as capers or pickled cucumbers.

Step 2
Peel the potatoes and onion, then rinse them in water. Slice the potatoes into rounds or slices, and cut the onion into half-rings. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and arrange the sliced potatoes in it. Season with salt. Spread sour cream of any fat content or mayonnaise over the potatoes. You can even pour kefir over them if you prefer a less caloric option. Place the sliced onions on top.

Step 3
Slice the meat into thin, wide pieces and place them on top of the onion. Season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with meat seasoning. It's best to choose pork with a small layer of fat to prevent the meat from turning out too dry.

Step 4
Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake for about 35–40 minutes. After 20 minutes, check the dish; if it's browning too quickly, pour in about 50–60 ml of hot water, as the potatoes may absorb the liquid and the dish could burn.

Step 5
Place the potato slices on a plate, top with the baked meat, and serve. Keep in mind that the potatoes will become very soft after baking. Don't forget to accompany the dish with fresh herbs, pickles, or fermented vegetables.
