Potato with a high starch content is ideal for zraz. It is best to use tubers of the same grade and size, so they cook at the same time. If the potato is not starchy enough, boil it in its uniform, then peel, remember and mix with other components of the “dough”, so the zrazy will not fall apart when frying.
Before adding egg and flour to mashed potatoes, let it cool, then the flour will not darken, the egg will not boil and the “dough” will turn out to be a beautiful color.
When sculpting, potato dough will not stick to your hands if you periodically dip your palms in water.
To zrazy well fried and on all sides were equally beautiful ruddy color, fry them in well-warmed oil.
Zrazy will have a crispy golden crust if they are breaded in breadcrumbs, flour or cereal before frying.

Our cuisine is so diverse and rich in all sorts of goodies. Europe and America have long practiced preparing a menu for the whole family, roughly speaking “out of nothing”. A good example is zrazy, a dish of Slavic cuisine that is especially common in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. It is prepared, traditionally, from various kinds of meat - pork or veal, simply from minced meat or a piece of minced meat, wrapping everything inside that is available.
We make potato zrazy from potatoes no worse, or even more interesting, than from meat. The filling can be everything that you love, from simple cabbage and mushrooms, as well as cucumbers, especially pickled, carrots and asparagus. An interesting filling is obtained by adding cheese and liver to potato zrazy, minced chicken and honey mushrooms, soy sauce and other additives and goodies.
But, no matter how you supplement this dish, the basic secrets of preparing a classic recipe will help make this dish perfect without any intricate filling, or even without it. So, the secrets of cooking potato zrazy:
Potato zrazy is the best reason to try and show off culinary talents. The choice of fillings is so huge that my eyes run wide. With onions, mushrooms, saury ... Already in the description of recipes incredible appetite flares up. We’ll tell you how to cook tender cutlets with juicy filling so that they do not fall apart.
Zrazy with minced potato is also called kortoplyaniki. Such potato patties with different fillings are incredibly fond of in Western Ukraine, Lithuania, often cooked in Belarus and Russia. Cutlets are even mentioned in the classics of literature. Babel, in Odessa Tales, has a phrase like “an old man drank vodka from a teapot, ate it with a smell that smells like a happy childhood” ... In general, we learn to cook cutlets worthy of a literary pen.
I wash the potatoes under water and carefully clean them with an iron brush. Boil until cooked in salted water. Three cooked potatoes on a coarse grater in a separate container.
We clean the onion and cut into cubes. Fry the minced meat with onions, salt in a pan. Add salt, pepper to taste and add 2 chicken eggs. At the same time, the forcemeat should not be too hot so that the eggs do not “cook”.
If you put raw minced meat in zrazy, it runs the risk of not frying and the zrazy will remain raw.
We make potato cakes. In the center of each we lay out a little minced meat, pinch the edges to get beautiful, even cutlets. It remains to roll them in flour and fry on both sides in a mixture of vegetable and butter to a beautiful golden crust.
Serve warm with zrazy sauce made from flour, milk or cream. But, in principle, you can not bother with the sauce. Serve cutlets with fresh sour cream and parsley leaves. Eat and lick the plate! Enjoy your meal.
It often happens that in the evening there is a little mashed potato. On the second day there are few who want to eat, because puree is delicious only fresh. It's time to revive the potatoes and serve gorgeous aromatic potato zrazy with mushrooms, sauce with yogurt, sour cream and whipped cream for dinner.
For cooking, we will need a small saucepan of cooked mashed potatoes, fresh champignons - 200 g, a large onion, a couple of chicken eggs, salt, pepper to taste, a little oil is not frying.
It is better to fry the mushrooms in butter - this way they will turn out deliciously creamy. Evaporate the water completely, otherwise the filling will soften the zrazy, and they will stick up directly in the pan.
Serve rosy, appetizing zrazy on a large flat dish, adding to them a sauce of sour cream and small pickled or fresh cucumbers - at your discretion. We eat, savoring the delicate mushroom taste, emphasized by creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
When cutting zrazy with cheese, a viscous molten filling is found, surprisingly in harmony with airy mashed potatoes. Take any cheese - spicy, freshish Russian, sweet Maasdam, classic parmesan. The taste will be different. But do not skimp on cheese - there should be a lot of fillings.
There is an option in haste - with cubes of good cream cheese. If the cheese comes with additives, such as slices of ham or mushrooms, the dish will sparkle in a new way.
Grate the cheese. Break the eggs in mashed potatoes and knead the potato dough thoroughly. We form cakes the size of a palm, in the center of each we pour a generous portion of cheese. We "seal" the patties on both sides so that they turn out to be tight, and the filling does not leak. Bread zrazy in crackers, quickly toss into a heated frying pan. Fry on all sides to a crust.
Cakes are conveniently sculpted, periodically wetting hands with cold water - so they will not stick.
Put the finished zrazy on a paper towel, so the excess fat is absorbed. Serve with herbs, cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumber.
