Classic potato sorcerers with minced meat in the oven: general rules
There is one basic recipe for baked potato wizards with toppings. According to it, with some differences, they prepare the remaining variations of the dish.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Potatoes, as well as other vegetables involved in the recipe, are peeled and washed.
2. The potatoes are rubbed on a very fine grater. Or (the second option), boil, cool and grind in a convenient way into pulp.
3. The potato “dough” is given flavor by salt and pepper.
4. The meat for the filling is cleaned from films, tendons, excess fat. Wash, dry, cut into pieces. Grind into minced meat using a meat grinder, chopper or pe finely chopped with a knife.
5. In minced meat, moisten raw or passivated onions (finely chopped), salt, seasonings, pepper. Knead well and knock out the mass.
6. Sorcerers form hands. Take a small piece of potato mass in the palm of your hand, flatten into a flat cake, put in the middle a lump of filling. The dough is lifted from the edges up and pinched gently.
7. The blanks are made oval or round, slightly flattened from below and from above. Bread in flour or small bread crumbs.
8. Fry in vegetable oil in a pan on both sides. The fire must be strong so that the sorcerers get browned only from above, and the filling remains damp - in the oven the dish will reach readiness.
9. Hot sorcerers are transferred to a baking sheet with high sides (in a baking dish, cauldrons, ducklings). Pour sauce in which they will be stewed and baked. In the classic version, it is sour cream diluted with water.
10. Bake a potato dish in an oven already heated to 180 degrees for an average of 40 minutes.
A common principle for all recipes - potato "dough" should be sufficiently dense and ductile, so that products during heat treatment keep their shape well. This is achieved in two ways.
The first method, traditional for the Belarusian cuisine, is mixing in the grated raw potato the starch released along with the juice. For this, the potato mass is wrapped in a double layer of gauze and squeezed like homemade cottage cheese. Juice drained into the bowl after 15-20 minutes is drained from the starch that has settled on the bottom. The starch itself is mixed in the grated potatoes and the dough is allowed to rest for about 15 minutes.
The second, more common and convenient way to make potato dough for sorcerers plastic is to add an egg to it. So that the mass is not liquid, potato chips are mixed with wheat flour. This rule is the same for both raw and boiled potatoes.
