Potato zrazy recipe step by step

How to make potato zrazy? The most important thing is the correct potato dough. Boil the potatoes in boiling salted water (the main thing is not to overcook them!), immediately drain the water, cool, and puree. Beat in the egg, add flour, finely grated cheese and knead until a homogeneous, dense, slightly viscous mass is formed.
We form a flat cake from the dough, slightly flattening it in the palm of our hand, put a few cubes of chicken filling in the middle and form a cutlet.
We do the same with the rest of the dough and filling.
In a separate bowl, beat the second egg with milk. Pour flour or semolina onto a plate for breading. Cook potato zrazy in a frying pan heated with oil.
Dip each pie into the egg mixture, then into the breading and fry on both sides until crispy.

In order to somehow diversify this meat dish, you can put some kind of filling inside each cutlet or, on the contrary, wrap the meat in it and make, for example, potato zrazy with chicken. Such an unusual dish can replace a full meal - there is both a meat component and a side dish, and if desired, the filling can be made even richer and additional components can be added to it.

- Pour oil into the frying pan, first add onions and carrots, fry until golden brown, add minced chicken. Fry, chopping large pieces with a spatula, until all the moisture has evaporated, then add the mushrooms and cook for another five minutes.

How to prepare potato zrazy with chicken filling
- First you need to prepare the chicken fillet. We wash it under cold water, and then remove films, remnants of connective tissue and fat. If you used brisket, remove all bones and skin as well.
- Cut the fillet into small pieces - this way it will cook faster, place it in a small saucepan and fill with cold water so that it completely covers the meat. Place on the fire and cook until done. Half an hour is usually enough to completely cook the sirloin.
- While our meat is cooking, we will take care of the potatoes. It needs to be washed thoroughly and sent to boil directly in its uniform - this way we will preserve the starch, which means that in the future it will be easier to make zrazy out of potatoes.
- When the potatoes and chicken are cooked, remove them from the water and let cool. Then peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater.
- Add chicken eggs, one hundred grams of softened butter to the potato mixture, add a little salt and pepper and set aside for a while.
- Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. Grind the chicken in a meat grinder. Pour a little sunflower oil into the frying pan and fry the onion in it until golden brown.
- We also put the minced chicken here, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and fry for about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a little.
- We take a small amount of potatoes and make a flat cake out of it. Place some meat mass in the middle and cover it with the edges. It should look like a potato patty.
- In a clean frying pan over medium heat, heat the remaining butter (if desired, you can mix butter and vegetable oil in equal proportions). Roll the zrazy in flour breading and place in a frying pan.
- Fry the zrazas on each side for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms on their surface.
Place the prepared potato zrazy with chicken on a dish, sprinkle finely chopped herbs on top and serve.

Peel the onion, chop finely, fry in vegetable oil, stirring, until golden brown. Then add boiled chicken meat cut into small pieces, salt and pepper. Fry the onion with the chicken meat, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, then cool the filling for the potato zrazas.
If necessary, salt the potatoes and then add 3 tablespoons of flour and stir the potato mixture.
With slightly damp hands, form a medium-sized flatbread from a small part of the potato mixture and place 1 tablespoon of cooled chicken filling in the center.
