Potatoes stuffed with minced meat in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potatoes stuffed with minced meat in the oven? Prepare the indicated products. Peel the potatoes and rinse in water. Use minced pork, preferably fatty, so that the lard melts during baking and the potato wedges absorb it, otherwise the end result will be dry potatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the peeled and washed tubers in a cauldron or pan, fill with warm water, add salt, add bay leaves and place the container on the stove. Boil for 15-20 minutes until almost done. Watch the vegetables so that they do not overcook, otherwise they will be impossible to stuff. Many chefs recommend stuffing raw potatoes, but there is no need to do this - they will not bake in the oven!

3. STEP 3

   

   Once the vegetables are cooked, let them cool slightly by removing them from the water. Cut each of them horizontally in half, using a teaspoon or knife to remove the middle. Grease a baking dish with oil and place the boiled potato halves in it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes, combine with minced meat, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and stuff the potato halves with minced meat. Do not spread sour cream or sprinkle with cheese! Minced meat and sour cream or cheese have different cooking times: the cheese or sour cream will burn, but the minced meat will still remain raw underneath. The same is true with potatoes, which is why the potatoes must be boiled first so as not to end up with fried minced meat and half-baked potatoes at the end!

5. STEP 5

   

   Bake the dish for about 25 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 C in the oven. 3-5 minutes before readiness, you can brush with sour cream or sprinkle with finely grated hard cheese, but this is purely optional, since stuffed potatoes are served on a dish with sour cream or other sauce based on it.

I made this recipe for stuffed potatoes for lunch. For this I took 4 potatoes, about 300 g of minced pork, and one onion. Combined the minced meat with chopped onion and salt. Boiled the potatoes until half cooked, adding bay leaf and salt. When it cooled, I cut each potato in half. Using a knife, I made indentations and filled them with minced meat. I added mayonnaise on top. I baked potatoes stuffed with minced meat in the oven for about 30 minutes at 220°. After that, I added grated cheese, and when it melted, I took the potatoes out of the oven. It baked well and came out soft thanks to the fact that it was put into the oven almost ready. I always use this life hack when I want the potatoes to be soft and crumbly. The filling turned out to be very appetizing, although it consisted of only three ingredients - meat, onions and salt. Preparing potatoes is easy and from those products that you always have on hand. And it turns out very elegant and tasty! Thank you very much for the recipe!
