Miracle with potatoes and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a miracle with potatoes and cheese? Prepare your food. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, remove it from the refrigerator in advance, it should come to room temperature. Take medium sized potatoes. Cheese - soft, Adyghe or feta cheese, of good quality, without vegetable fats. I used cheese.

2. STEP 2

   

   First prepare the dough. How to make the dough? Возьмите большую миску. Pour warm kefir into it. It’s okay if you just took it out of the refrigerator - just dilute the kefir with hot water. Pour baking soda into it and stir. Leave the kefir to stand for 5 minutes. During this time, the soda will react with the acid in the kefir. As a result, gas will be released, which will make the dough fluffier and softer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add salt to the kefir and sift one glass of flour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Start kneading the dough with a fork. Once you have added the first cup of flour, sift in a small amount more. So, gradually adding flour, knead the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   When it becomes difficult to mix with a fork, continue kneading with your hands.

6. STEP 6

   

   Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. It should become homogeneous, smooth and stop sticking to your hands. I only needed two cups of flour, I didn’t need half. Place the finished dough in a bowl, cover with a napkin and leave to rest while the filling is prepared.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the filling. How to make the filling? Wash the potatoes and place in a saucepan. Fill with cold water and place on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Boil the potatoes in their jackets for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size. Determine readiness with a knife - it should easily pierce the tubers. Drain the water and leave the potatoes to cool.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cool the potatoes until you can handle them without burning them. Peel it and mash it with a masher until pureed.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add grated cheese and sour cream to the mashed potatoes. Add a little salt. Keep in mind that the filling will already contain quite salty cheese, especially if it is feta cheese. You can also add any greens you like to the filling. I decided not to add.

11. STEP 11

    

    Mix all ingredients until smooth. The filling is ready.

12. STEP 12

    

    Meanwhile, the dough became even better - all the liquid was finally absorbed into the flour, and gluten developed in the flour, which is responsible for the elasticity of the dough. Always try to let the kneaded dough rest; it will be much easier to work with. Divide the dough into 8 parts. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into a thin circle.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place a large portion of filling in the middle of the dough.

14. STEP 14

    

    Gather the ends of the dough into the middle and pinch it to form a pouch. Press the top down to make it flat.

15. STEP 15

    

    Roll out the resulting flatbread to a thickness of 1 cm. The dough is very thin and may tear. Try to prevent this from happening. Form all the miracles in the same way. I did this right during the frying process - while one tortilla was frying, I was preparing another.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place a frying pan over medium heat. Without lubricating it with anything, heat the pan until hot. Place the flat cake on it.

17. STEP 17

    

    Fry the miracle in a dry frying pan until golden brown, first on one side, then turn over to the other. Fry also until golden.

18. STEP 18

    

    Remove the finished cake to a plate and immediately, while it is hot, grease it with butter. Fry all the tortillas in the same way.

19. STEP 19

    

    Serve the miracle hot with sour cream. Bon appetit!
