Potato zrazy with mushrooms - 6 cooking recipes

Potato zrazy with mushrooms are vegetable cutlets stuffed with mushrooms inside. They are surprisingly easy and simple to prepare - no special culinary skills are required. If the housewife knows how to boil potatoes and make mashed potatoes from them, then everything will work out one hundred percent.

The main thing in this dish is the base, that is, properly prepared “potato dough”. It should not be too soft or hard, and should not fall apart. Its task is to keep its shape well and be tasty. Usually it is enough to add eggs and a little flour to a warm pound. If you need to give up eggs, you can add a spoonful of starch instead. It will prevent the dough from spreading, will hold the components together, and the cutlets will turn out neat. It is better to add salt and pepper to the puree if desired.

For the filling you can use any mushrooms: fried, boiled, pickled. It tastes best when fried with onions (you can also add carrots). We also take any mushrooms suitable for frying: wild mushrooms or store-bought ones, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that they are edible and not spoiled.

The technique for preparing potato zrazas is as follows. From the puree we form a flat cake, in the middle of which we put the filling. Then we form everything into a cutlet, trying to keep the filling inside. We give the zrazas the desired shape: oval or round. In this form, they can be placed on a flat dish and frozen in the freezer. Then, when the cutlets have hardened, place them in a suitable plastic container in portions and leave them in the cold.

Fry the zrazy in a small amount of oil in a frying pan. You can use Teflon so that even less oil is wasted. It’s good to pre-bread them in breadcrumbs. Batter or lezon is also suitable for frying.
