What gourmet dishes can be made from potatoes

The season is over, the harvest has been harvested, including the harvest of potato tubers - one of the favorite products of Russians. There are more than 600 dishes that can be prepared from it, but in everyday life, for quick cooking, they often manage with only 8-10 recipes, often according to the principle: "Something faster and simpler." Many gourmets name potato pancakes, pancakes and pancakes among their favorite foods.

All these dishes are prepared from freshly grated tubers, the only difference is in additional components. As a rule, unlike pancakes, bread yeast is added to pancakes and pancakes. In my opinion, potato pancakes are very close in composition to pancakes, but in the former they try to introduce fewer components and in smaller quantities; with the expectation that the potatoes prevail over the rest.

These potato dishes are best cooked in thick-walled pans. A new frying pan, or if it has been used for another purpose, should be ignited with fat and salt before baking and wiped dry with a clean cloth. The pan used to bake pancakes should not be scraped with a knife. Modern cookware with non-stick coating does not require such preparation.

When preparing pancakes and pancakes with yeast, you must carefully monitor the swelling of the dough. It should spread in a thin layer over the pan. The pancakes have a thicker consistency (almost like hard sour cream): put the dough in a pan heated with oil without spilling it all over the pan. Pancakes are much thicker than pancakes, they are fried on both sides.

There are a huge number of recipes for these dishes and their modifications. Here are the most popular ones. First of all, the potato tubers must be thoroughly peeled and washed, quickly grated on a fine grater and squeezed out the liquid, avoiding darkening of the pulp (let's call the latter conditionally a potato mass).

Potato pancakes stuffed with eggs

Add flour, salt, pepper to the potato mass, mix everything and divide into flat cakes. In the middle of a thin flat cake (leveled with a spoon), put the minced meat from boiled and chopped eggs mixed with fried onions. Then you can either wrap the edges of the cake (give the shape of a ball), or cover the minced meat with a second potato cake; fry on both sides in a pan with heated vegetable oil until golden brown. Serve the prepared pancakes with fried cracklings and crushed garlic.

Put the potato mass into a frying pan with heated fat, minced meat on top, then cover the minced meat with potato mass. Fry pancakes on both sides, transfer to a pot, pour sour cream and bring to readiness in the oven.

By the way, potato pancakes are considered quite satisfying food on the days of fasting. We did not violate the proposed recommendations for the preparation of these dishes, but we will not dissuade them from the desire of home cooks to somehow modify them depending on their personal taste preferences. As for the author, the following modification is more suitable for me: add a spoonful of milk to the potato mass of 8-9 tubers (so that it does not darken), finely chopped and lightly fried (separately in vegetable oil) medium-sized onion, chopped 2-3 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of flour, egg, salt; to mix everything; fry until golden brown. Serve with sour cream.

When I have to cook starch from potatoes, I sometimes use the leftover pulp for making "non-starchy" potato pancakes, although they are not so tasty anymore, and the first drain of water after washing the pulp is for soup.
