Classic French meat in the oven with potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make classic French meat in the oven with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take pork without bones. Peel and rinse the potatoes. Take one medium-sized onion or two small ones. The cheese can be any kind, as long as it is of high quality and melts well. You can make your own mayonnaise for this dish. At the end of the recipe there is a link to a catalog of homemade mayonnaise recipes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes into thin slices and dry. Then pour a little refined vegetable oil on it and stir until the oil covers all the potatoes. Thanks to this oil film, the potatoes will not dry out during baking, will not lose moisture and will bake well.

3. STEP 3

   

   For baking, take any heat-resistant form. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with vegetable oil and place the chopped potatoes in one layer. Add a little salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, brush the potato layer with half the mayonnaise.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the pork meat into portions about 1 cm thick and beat a little on both sides with a kitchen hammer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place pork over potatoes. Also add salt and pepper.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the onions and rinse with cold water. Cut into thin half rings.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place onions on top of meat. Add a little salt and pepper. If you like, add 2-3 cloves of garlic, cutting it into thin slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Brush the onion layer with the remaining half of the mayonnaise.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle it with the final layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40-60 minutes until the potatoes are soft. After 30 minutes, cover the top of the pan with foil to prevent the cheese from burning. Bake for about 30 minutes more. There is no need to seal tightly with foil. Just place on top to allow the moisture to evaporate. The times are approximate. For more information on how ovens work, see the article at the end of this recipe.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve the French-style meat and potatoes immediately before it cools down. As an accompaniment, you can serve pickles, fresh vegetables, and herbs.

I also add French-style meat with potatoes and tomatoes to the dish for juiciness.

Could there be anything tastier than the “classics”? Meat, potatoes, cheese... It was a good piece of meat with a small amount of lard. I chopped everything finely, I always put onions in the first layer, then potatoes, then meat. I also added tomato. My husband bought mushroom and cheese sauces instead of mayonnaise, so I had to use them. In principle, it didn’t spoil the taste 👌🏼I cook meat in French classically in the oven with potatoes on a large baking sheet because we love to eat and even this amount is enough for one meal. I cover the top with foil because for some reason the potatoes don’t bake well in my oven. 15 minutes before the end of cooking, remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese to brown.

And if you add garlic to the meat (cut 3-4 cloves), it will be more flavorful
