Potato zrazy with minced meat in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato zrazy with minced meat? Prepare the necessary products. You can use any minced meat: chicken or meat. I have a mixed one (pork, beef). The juicier the minced meat, the tastier the zrazy will be.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes, pre-washed in water with a brush. Cut each tuber into 2-4 parts depending on its size. Boil water in a suitable sized saucepan, add the prepared potatoes, and bring to a boil. Salt the potatoes and cook over moderate heat until tender. It is important not to overcook the potatoes. Otherwise, it will lose some of the starch and absorb water. Then the potato dough will be more wet and making zrazy will not be very convenient.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Peel and wash the onions. Cut the onion into small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the onion, stirring occasionally, until soft. Make the heat moderate so that the onion does not burn.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the minced meat in the pan with the onions. Fry the minced meat with onions, stirring vigorously. Knead the meat lumps so that the minced meat becomes more homogeneous.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry the minced meat until it changes color. At the end of cooking, salt the minced meat, add spices to taste, and stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Let the filling cool.

7. STEP 7

   

   Drain all the water from the finished potatoes. Mash the hot potatoes with a potato masher into a homogeneous puree, cool.

8. STEP 8

   

   To help the mashed potatoes cool faster, you can transfer them to a suitable sized bowl. The puree should be slightly warm, not hot, so that the added egg does not curdle.

9. STEP 9

   

   Beat the egg into the mashed potatoes and stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add flour, mix well.

11. STEP 11

    

    The result is a soft, homogeneous potato dough. It will be a little sticky, so when forming the zraz, dust your hands with flour or grease with vegetable oil.

12. STEP 12

    

    How to make zrazy? Form a portion of dough into a thin flat cake and place it on a surface sprinkled with flour. Make a well in the center of the cake.

13. STEP 13

    

    Fill the middle of the tortilla with the filling.

14. STEP 14

    

    Bring the edges of the dough together. Blind the zrazy like a pie, giving it an oblong shape.

15. STEP 15

    

    Form the remaining zrazy in the same way. Place the zrazy on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. I lined the bottom with foil, but this is optional.

16. STEP 16

    

    In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork until smooth.

17. STEP 17

    

    Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the zrazy with beaten egg so that they get a beautiful blush when baked.

18. STEP 18

    

    Bake the zrazy in an oven preheated to 180C for 20-25 minutes until browned. Determine the time and temperature based on your oven.

19. STEP 19

    

    Serve the potato zrazy hot as a separate dish. Bon appetit!

After making the spring rolls, I had some leftover mince. And I thought about how to cook something so delicious. My favorite website came to the rescue, I found a recipe: potato zrazy with minced meat in the oven. Peeled the potatoes and boiled them until tender. Drained the water and mashed the potatoes until puree. Add egg and flour to the warm puree and mix. From the resulting dough I formed cutlets with minced meat inside. I laid out the zrazy on a baking sheet. I brushed it with beaten yolk and baked it in the oven at 180° for 30 minutes. The recipe is excellent, I recommend trying it. The potato zrazy turned out very tasty! Thanks to Yulia for the recipe.

The perfect combination of meat and potatoes in a hearty, rosy, flavorful dish. Delicious, satisfying, appetizing! Potato zrazy with minced meat in the oven are not so greasy due to the fact that they do not need to be fried in oil in a frying pan. Such zrazy can be given even to small children, it is very tasty with sour cream. I served it with a light vegetable salad. Thanks for the recipe!
