From the amount of products indicated in the recipe, from 6 to 8 potato pancakes with minced meat are obtained.

Recipe 3: pancakes with minced pork in a pan

Appetizing, ruddy potato pancakes can be prepared not only in the form of thin golden pancakes. This hearty second course is quite often made with a variety of fillings - minced or twisted meat, chicken, mushrooms, sausage, cheese. And today I propose to cook potato pancakes with minced meat - it turns out very tasty and satisfying.

Remember that truly delicious potato pancakes can only be made from good potatoes. It is best to choose root crops with yellowish pulp, which, after heat treatment, boils well. The so-called “soapy”, watery white potatoes are not good - ready-made potato pancakes will not only darken quickly, but also the taste will be so-so.

potatoes - 2 kg
pork - 700 gr
onion - 400 gr
chicken eggs - 2 pcs
sour cream - 50 gr
flour - 50 gr
vegetable oil - 150 ml
salt - 1 tsp
black pepper - 1 pinch

First of all, we will prepare the minced meat, as the potato shingles darkens quickly. To do this, cut the pork into pieces and pass through a meat grinder. To make the meat scroll faster and easier, first hold it in the freezer for half an hour.

Then we pass peeled onions through a meat grinder (one large onion - half the norm from the indicated ingredients).

Salt and pepper minced pork with onions. Mix with your hands and taste for salt. If needed, add more seasonings.

To make the potato pancake filling juicy and tender, you can additionally beat off the minced meat (a couple of minutes). To do this, simply forcefully throw the minced meat into a bowl or transfer it to a bag and beat it on the table. That is, just throw from a small height. While we put the prepared minced meat in the refrigerator.

Let's do the dough for potato pancakes. To do this, clean the potatoes and onions (the second half of the ingredients). I will say right away that there is definitely not a lot of onion in a shingle. Moreover, onions not only add flavor to ready-made potato pancakes, but also protect grated potatoes from browning longer.

Grind vegetables on the smallest grater-shingles. I have this attachment in my food processor, but I used to use a manual grater.

Add a couple of chicken eggs, sour cream, salt and wheat flour to the potatoes with onions. Take sour cream of any fat content - it does not matter at all. By the way, sometimes I even use kefir instead. The main thing is that it should be a fermented milk product, which will not allow the potatoes to darken and make potato pancakes more tender. Wheat flour is also not necessary to use the highest grade - the first one will do. It is clear that some may say, they say, why all these additives ... Draniki are pure potatoes and onions ... But I cook this way and we like it that way.

We mix everything thoroughly (I do it right by hand, it’s more convenient), we try for salt, if necessary, add it. By the way, do you know what the beauty of hand-stirring is? You can easily feel for pieces of potatoes or onions that could slip through and not be chopped.

Now we will fry potato pancakes with minced meat. Pour some refined vegetable oil into the pan, heat it well and spread it with a tablespoon and level the potato mass so that a rather thin pancake is obtained.

Then we put the minced pork, giving it the shape of a flat cutlet. It is most convenient to make such blanks in advance so that they are already at hand.

We cover the meat filling with potato mass so that the minced meat is not visible. Also smooth with a spoon.

Fry potato pancakes with minced meat over medium heat until the lower part is browned. Then turn them over with a spatula and continue to fry under the lid until cooked. We do the same with the rest of the potato dough and minced meat, adding vegetable oil if necessary.

We spread the finished pancakes on a paper napkin so that excess fat is absorbed into it.

Appetizing, ruddy potato pancakes are ready. They need to be eaten hot.

Serve this delicious and hearty second course with sour cream and fresh herbs. Try it, you will like it!

Recipe 4: sorcerer potato pancakes with minced meat

Potato pancakes with minced meat (sorcerers) is a national and traditional dish of Belarusian cuisine, although there are many very similar dishes in other cuisines of the world. These are potato pancakes, tertiki, potato pancakes, terunets, reshti, latkes, ragmunki, plyatski, bramboraki. And this is far from a complete list. Why exactly these potato pancakes are called sorcerers is not known for sure, but, you see, the name itself is quite unusual.

In Transcarpathia, a pancake cake made from green pancakes with spinach and meat filling is also called sorcerers, although these are two completely different dishes. Potato sorcerers with minced meat is an excellent and very tasty version of potato pancakes, with which you can diversify your daily menu.

And even the minced meat itself, which plays the role of the main violin in this recipe, can also be varied. For example, adding to it a small amount of fried champignons, cut into small pieces, ham, bell pepper. We will now consider how to cook potato pancakes with meat.

Potatoes - 6-7 pcs.,
Onion - 1 pc.,
Eggs - 1 pc.,
Flour - 3 tbsp. spoons,
Minced pork - 400 gr.,
Salt,
Ground black pepper,
Vegetable oil.

Having prepared all the products, you can start cooking potato pancakes with minced meat. First of all, let's prepare the meat filling. Put the mince into a bowl.

In my opinion, the most ideal stuffing for potato pancakes is pork. Pepper it and salt it. Mix thoroughly with your hands. You can add some onion or garlic if you like. Put the mince in the refrigerator.

Now you need to prepare potato dough for potato pancakes. Peel the onion. Rub it on a fine grater in mashed potatoes. Peel potatoes. Now it should be grated. I prefer a grater with medium holes, although you can use a fine grater or a large grater, depending on how you want the finished potato pancakes to look. In any case, the potatoes need to be grated quickly enough so that they do not have time to darken.

Put onion puree in a bowl with grated potatoes.

Beat in an egg.

Stir. Add black ground pepper and salt.

Take the amount of these ingredients at your discretion. Add flour.

Mix the potato base for potato pancakes with minced meat.

Heat up a pan with sunflower oil. After the oil becomes hot, scoop up the potato mass with a tablespoon and lay it out in the form of cakes.

Take a small amount of minced meat (about 30 gr.,). Roll it into a ball. Flatten with your hands. Lay on top of the potatoes. So fill all the potato pancakes with minced meat.

You need to do this quickly enough, while the bottom of them has not yet had time to burn. Next, cover the meat with potato mass.

Turn them over with a spatula to the other side. Turn off the fire. Add sunflower oil, if necessary, and fry until tender.

Draniki with minced meat or sorcerers are traditionally served with sour cream. You can whip up a delicious garlic sauce based on sour cream. To do this, add a little salt, minced garlic, a couple of sprigs of finely chopped dill to the sour cream. After adding all the ingredients, stir the sauce and serve with hot and tasty potato sorcerers.

As with any other dishes containing meat, tomato sauce, ketchup, spicy adjika or barbecue sauce are also good for them. Good appetite.

Recipe 5: pancakes with minced meat and cheese in the oven

For cutlets:

minced pork - 400 grams
mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
mustard - 1 tablespoon
salt, ground black pepper - to taste

For cheese mass:

cheese - 100 grams
egg - 1 piece
mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
garlic - 2 cloves (optional)

For potato pancakes:

potatoes - 7-9 pcs.
onion - 1 piece
egg - 1 piece
salt, ground black pepper - to taste

First of all, I'll do the stuffing. This time I have it in a store, which I basically do not accept. But, firstly, it turned out to be of surprisingly high quality, and, secondly, this is a quick recipe, so you can deviate a little from the principles and indulge yourself.

Minced pork, but absolutely lean, tender and juicy. I will still add a tablespoon of mayonnaise and mustard to it, so that it becomes even tastier, salt, respectively, and pepper:

I mix it, let it brew a little, and then I blind these cutlets:

I'll put them in the fridge for a while, but for now I'll take care of the cheese.

I use not the most expensive cheese, if only the taste suits. I rub it on a coarse grater, add mayonnaise to it by eye, somewhere around a tablespoon:

There should not be a lot of it, its only task is to help me mix the grated cheese. If you overdo it with it, the cheese mass will simply drain off my future potato pancakes.

To prevent this from happening, add one egg to the cheese:

Mix it up and put it in the fridge too.

You can also squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic through a press for piquancy, but today I'm not in the garlic mood, so at the last minute I changed my mind about adding it.

Now it's time for the potatoes themselves. I will clean the right amount of it and one large onion. I will rub on a coarse grater alternately, one potato, a little onion, etc. Thus, the potatoes will not darken, and the onion will be evenly distributed in it.

At the end of the peeled potatoes with onions, salt and pepper:

Then I'll put it in a colander so that the juice that stands out stacks:

Then I’ll put it on a plate, mix it with one raw egg for a better bunch and deal directly with the potato pancakes themselves.

To do this, put parchment or a special non-stick mat on a baking sheet. From above, evenly, at the same distance from each other, I will distribute these raw potato cakes:

I’ll put a minced meat cutlet on them:

Cover it all with cheese mixture:

I'll send the pancakes to the preheated oven.

I usually cook them at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes until a beautiful golden brown cheese crust appears.

Then I admire what happened, but not for long, because almost everything is instantly eaten.

Other cooking options for potato pancakes

The recipe for such a Belarusian dish with minced meat is widespread not only within the borders of the Republic of Belarus, but also far beyond its borders. In addition, potato pancakes have quite a few different cooking recipes, which mainly differ in products for the filling.

Draniki with potatoes and meat

This dish is popularly called sorcerers. To prepare it, you will need 6 large potatoes, a medium onion, 300 grams of minced meat, one egg and a couple of tablespoons of flour. In this recipe, you need to rub raw potatoes, add the rest of the ingredients to it, salt, and mix everything well.

The finished meat-potato dough should turn out to be similar in consistency to dough for pancakes. Small cakes are formed from the resulting mass. The most important thing is that they are not too thick, otherwise the middle may not be baked.

Many professional cooks, before frying, dip the sorcerers in a beaten egg, and then roll them in breadcrumbs. This will give the dish a crispier crust and a more tender center.

Witch hazels with turkey meat

When compared with pork or beef, in this case, turkey meat gives great tenderness and originality to the dish. Also, the turkey is famous for its dietary abilities, which have a positive effect on the human digestive system.

To prepare original turkey sorcerers, you need to peel and grate five to seven potatoes on a potato grater. Then add four hundred grams of twisted turkey meat, one finely chopped onion, beat in one egg and add a little flour for better viscosity to the shabby mass.

In addition, a teaspoon of dried paprika should be added to the minced meat, and salt to taste. Mix the resulting mass well, and you can fry.

For frying such potato pancakes, it is best to use olive oil, as it can emphasize the turkey present in the dish and saturate the sorcerers with even more flavor.

Recipe for lazy potato pancakes with meat

The main component of all potato pancakes is shabby raw potatoes. The lazy version of the preparation of this dish was no exception.

To prepare lazy pancakes with minced meat, you will need five medium grated potatoes (about 1 kilogram), half a kilogram of minced pork pulp, two eggs, a couple of cloves of garlic, salt and spices to taste.

All of the above components must be mixed. Heat sunflower oil or lard in a frying pan, and fry the formed cutlets in it.

In this case, you can cook flat potato pancakes, in the form of pancakes, or you can make lush ones, in the form of cutlets. But for this, after frying, they need to be stewed in a small amount of water (three to five tablespoons) for about seven minutes.

Sorcerers with meat without flour

Flourless potato pancakes are prepared exclusively from potatoes (1 kilogram), minced meat (300 grams), and onions (2 pieces).

The recipe for such meat pancakes is as follows:

Grind one onion in a blender, and cut the second into half rings.
Add half of the onion chopped on a blender to the minced meat, salt, pepper, and mix.
Fry the onion, cut into half rings in sunflower or olive oil until golden brown, and put it in a separate bowl for now.
Add chopped onion to pre-shredded potatoes and season with salt.

I highly recommend serving with potato pancakes.
The taste can be varied by adding: carrots, bell peppers, chili, stewed cabbage, garlic, green onions and dill.

Paper towels will help get rid of excess fat. Spread potato pancakes on them immediately from the pan, and when the fat drains, transfer to a dish.
