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, especially widespread 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.

Boiled peeled potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash, adding butter to the potatoes.
Fry the minced pork in a pan until half cooked (about 10-15 minutes), add the finely chopped onions and fry everything together for another 10 minutes.
In the cooled puree, add 150 grams of flour and knead the dough. Do not add eggs, sour cream or even more oil to the potatoes. In this case, the puree can become very liquid and it will be very difficult to form zrazy out of it. Sprinkle the board with the remaining flour, grease your hands with vegetable oil and roll round cakes. Put 1-2 teaspoons of minced meat in the center of the tortilla.
Form a neat cutlet and pinch the edges.
Fry potato zrazy in a pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until a beautiful golden crust appears. It is best served hot, adding each tablespoon a tablespoon of sour cream.

Beef zrazy is a simple traditional Slavic meat dish, cooked the other way around. If classic zrazy is cooked by wrapping meat filling in potato dough, then we will wrap these zrazy in pieces of beaten beef.
Incredibly delicious and satisfying will be such beef zrazy chops if cooked at home and served with a side dish of cooked string beans and cauliflower. In the process of preparing zraz, we will also prepare a very thick and delicious sauce for them.

As meat for such zraz, you can use not only beef, but also pork or chicken. Depending on the meat chosen, you will change not only the cooking time, but also the corresponding spices. The filling will be very satisfying and very tender thanks to the butter. In the process of roasting, beef will take a dense and crispy crust, and as a result of stewing it will become very tender.
Such beef and zrazy are perfect for lunch or dinner.
Let's start cooking.
We cut all our beef into thin enough plates along the fibers. We put the sliced \u200b\u200bpieces on top of the cling film, on top of the meat also cover with cling film. We beat the beef with a wooden kitchen hammer. The presence of a film will not allow the hammer to spoil the texture and surface of the meat.
Peel the onion, wash and chop finely enough.
Pour onion slices into a deep bowl, add the butter cut into small pieces and the specified number of breadcrumbs to it. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The oil should be slightly melted, for this, just let it brew at room temperature before cooking.
We lay out the resulting filling in the center of each piece of beaten beef, evenly distribute it on the surface and wrap the meat in a kind of rolls. You can fasten the edges of the meat with a regular toothpick, as shown in the photo.
We heat the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, roll the meat rolls with the filling in wheat flour and send it to the hot oil.
Such rolls need to be fried on each side, quickly and over high heat until a confident golden crust appears.
In a deep pan, spread the remaining slices of onion and butter in breadcrumbs. We also send beef rolls fried in a pan there.
Pour the ingredients with water at room temperature, salt to taste. We cook the ingredients in a stewing mode under a closed lid until the meat is soft and thickens the aromatic sauce.
Serve the finished dish and serve it to the table hot with a side dish of green beans and cauliflower. Beef zrazy ready.
We make the filling, for this it is necessary to fry the minced meat mixed with chopped onions, salt and pepper in a heated pan with vegetable oil.
Add salt, egg and flour to the puree.
Stir everything.
Lubricate the hands with vegetable oil, or sprinkle with flour a little. put mashed potatoes in a palm with a spoon, stuffing in the middle, and again mashed potatoes on top.
We form zrazy in the form of pies.
In a preheated frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the zrazy, on both sides until golden.
Zrazy - potato patties stuffed with, a dish of Ukrainian cuisine. They are cooked with fish, eggs, mushrooms and meat. Potato zrazy with minced meat are very juicy and satisfying, they can be quickly fried in a pan and baked in the oven.
Peel the potatoes, boil until cooked, drain the liquid and knead the nibble. Cool down.
In oil (2 tbsp) over medium heat, fry the prepared pork mincemeat until the liquid evaporates. Spread on a plate.
Add more oil to the pan, fry the chopped onion with grated carrots, chopped garlic and add the minced meat to the vegetables. Salt and pepper.
Remove from heat, spread the chopped parsley, mix and cool. The filling for zraz is ready.
Put mashed potatoes in a saucepan, add flour, egg, salt and mix well.
Sprinkle your palms with flour, take 2 tablespoons with a slide of potato mixture and form a cake. In the middle we spread the prepared filling and fasten the edges.
We give zrazy a round shape and roll in breadcrumbs.
In portions, fry the zrazy with minced meat in oil over high heat on both sides and spread on a greased baking sheet.
Sent to a preheated oven at 210 degrees for 10-15 minutes. During this time, all potato patties are evenly heated, the filling will infiltrate the dough and the zrazy will turn out to be very juicy and aromatic.
Zrazy can be cooked with minced chicken, turkey and beef. They can be supplemented with any herbs and spices to taste.
Potato zrazy with minced meat are a kind of "cutlets" of boiled potatoes with meat filling. From the plastic potato mass we will form cakes, add the filling and bring the workpieces to full readiness. The taste of the dish will largely depend on the selected type of minced meat. Both juicy pork and lean beef are suitable here, but to get an impeccable taste it is better to mix these types of meat.
Zrazy can be both boiled in boiling salted water and fried in oil. In our example, we will give preference to the second option.
Wash potato tubers, peel and cut into quarters or just slices of approximately the same size. Fill with water and cook at moderate boil until soft.
In the meantime, prepare the filling for potato zrazy. After removing the husks, finely chop the onion and fry for 2-3 minutes in vegetable oil.
To the already soft onion, load the minced meat. For uniform frying, break the meat mass into small pieces using a culinary spatula. We fry on moderate heat until the minced meat is ready. Season the meat filling for zraz with salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the water from the boiled potatoes, transfer the potato slices to a separate bowl and wait 10 minutes to let the hot tubers cool a little.
We drive a raw egg into a warm, but not hot potato, and begin to grind the mass into a homogeneous smooth puree.
Pour the flour gradually, carefully kneading the potato dough with a spoon. The mass will turn out soft and plastic. In this case, the dough will stick to your hands - it should be so! It is not worth increasing the dosage of flour, otherwise it will “kill” the potato flavor and the dish will turn out not so tasty.
With palms dipped in water, we form a small flat cake from the potato mass. In the middle we place a portion of minced meat.
We fasten the edges, forming an oblong workpiece and hiding the filling inside. Roll the resulting potato "cutlet" in breadcrumbs. Similarly, we do the rest of the zrazas.
Cover the bottom of a large-capacity thick-bottom pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil. We warm it up well, and then we spread our semi-finished products on a hot surface. Fry on both sides over moderate heat until an appetizing “tanned” crust is formed.
We serve potato zrazy with minced meat hot or at least warm. Since the dish already combines both meat and side dishes, no additions are required. If desired, fresh vegetables, greens or light salads can be served with hearty zrazy. And potato zrazy with minced meat are in perfect harmony with sour cream.
If you are suddenly tired of mashed potatoes with cutlets, we advise you to diversify your menu and prepare a tasty and satisfying dish - potato zrazy with minced meat, a step-by-step recipe with a photo of which is described below. This simple dish is prepared from traditional products, but at the same time contains an unusual ingredient. Kefir is present in the meat filling, which gives the filling special juiciness and softness.
First you need to prepare all the necessary products. Any minced meat is suitable for this dish, but it is best to use mixed minced pork and beef. Kefir can be taken with any fat content. It is advisable to take refined oil for frying. As spices, you can use seasoning curry, turmeric, coriander, a mixture of peppers.
Peel and wash all vegetables - onions, potatoes, and carrots. Cut the potatoes into large cubes and boil in salted water until tender. Finely chop the onion, and rub the carrots on a fine grater. Wash and chop greens thoroughly.
Pour a little sunflower oil into the pan, sprinkle the onion and brown it. Then put minced meat in a pan, salt, sprinkle with spices and fry it with onions. After that put the carrots, and after a few minutes - the greens. Pour kefir into the slightly cooled minced meat and mix well.
Drain the water from the boiled potato, crush it with a crush, so that there are no lumps left. Beat the egg and pour 3 tablespoons of sifted flour, then mix the potato mass thoroughly. If you wish, you can also sprinkle some spices in the potatoes. For example, add 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric. She will give the finished product a pleasant yellow color.
Sprinkle the board with flour. Gather a tablespoon with a slide of potato dough, roll a ball out of it. Then flatten it into a pancake about 1 cm thick, in the center of which put about 2 teaspoons of the filling. Gently connect the edges of the pancake and dazzle them. Fold the prepared zraz pieces onto a board sprinkled with flour.
Pour a little sunflower oil into the pan and heat it well. Put the billets in the pan and fry them on both sides until a crispy crust forms. The lid can not be closed, fry over medium heat.
