Potato puffs
Description
This is a classic recipe for potato pyzy. The ingredients I used are: potatoes, minced meat, cottage cheese, flour, starch, onion, egg, salt, pepper, coriander, and bay leaf. The filling for the pyzy is a mixture of pork and beef mince, although you could use just pork mince, for example. Serve the finished pyzy with sour cream, and garnish the dish with fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or salad greens). Good luck with your cooking!

Step 5
Fry the pyzy in vegetable oil. Brown them on both sides until golden. Then place them in a pot and add spices (pepper, bay leaf, coriander, salt). Pour hot boiled water over the pyzy. Simmer covered for 20–25 minutes, until the filling is cooked through. The pyzy should absorb almost all of the water.
