Flour - 5 spoons with top
Milk (can be sour) - half a cup
Onions - 2-3 things (again - size does matter)

Sunflower oil - half a cup

Cooking method
We start with the elementary. Peel potatoes, carrots and onions.
Three potatoes on a medium-sized hole grater. Those who are familiar with the technology of cooking pancakes - know why.
If you rub potatoes on a small grater, there will be a lot of juice, we will salt it, and the cakes of our cake will be dry.
If the root is very large, grated, the cakes will not be baked, there is a chance to try a cake with the taste of raw potatoes.
In general, we are three potatoes and systematically add.
We need it to not darken, but let the juice.
While this happens, we are engaged in the filling for the cake.
Three large carrots, because small chips while frying will turn into a mess and spoil the appearance of the filling.
Onion cut into half rings, thin and neat.
Heat the pan, lightly oil it with sunflower oil, spread the mince on it, and onion and carrot on it.
While they are warming up, we quickly carry out the following manipulations:
- Pour juice from a plate with grated potatoes,
- break three eggs there, pour milk,
- salt and pepper to taste
- pour out the flour,
- Use a fork to knead the dough for shortcakes.
You should not diligently interfere, manic beating, etc. Just mixed until homogeneous and all.
Let the dough rest.
There should be the next photo. But it did not work out - it was very flitty in the pan.
Running back to the filling.
5 minutes we fry the minced meat with carrots and onions over medium heat, constantly stir, and keep the same amount on a small heat under the lid.
It is necessary that the minced meat and vegetables roasted, but did not become homogeneous.
It looks like this.
We shift the stuffing to the plate, and again heat the pan and lay out, in it a third of the dough. Hooray! We start to fry big pancakes, which will be the cake crust of our cake.
After 3 minutes over medium heat, the dough will darken - cooked. Like this:
Turn it over and keep it on medium heat for another 2 minutes.
I’ll say right away - it’s scary to turn such a big pancake out of habit. Console yourself with the fact that even if it breaks - this is nonsense, under the filling - not visible!
It is important to cook the whole pancake. The photo shows, it is ruddy on top, and below, I will say in secret - pale. It will remain pale, but it is necessary to warm it up properly. Not less than 2 minutes on medium heat.
When the first shortbread is ready, remove it from the pan. We spread the second part of the dough for potato pancakes into a pan. We bake.
At the same time we start to collect our cake.
Events evolve rapidly.
At this point, you begin to regret that you have only two hands.
Lightly grease the cake with sour cream (or mayonnaise). By the way, some prefer ketchup or any other sauce, even if tar-tar.
Evenly spread the meat filling. Exactly half of our fried minced meat with onions and carrots. Gently seal.
We repeat the operation with our second potato cake.
Cover the entire composition with the last third crust.
At this stage, all the living creatures in the house are caught up on the smells from the kitchen.
Therefore, it is necessary to decorate our cake “at a waltz pace”.
I just drew abstract stains with sour cream and ketchup, generously poured green parsley and ... barely had time to take a picture!
Of course, it would be good to let the masterpiece stand for a couple of hours, soak up.
Then sprinkle with grated cheese and put in the oven for 3 minutes.
Although ... maybe it was worth smearing it with sour cream and using grated yolks to turn a cake from pancakes into a soft yellow fluffy charm.
Decoration options - a thousand, it all depends on the time of fantasy.
If you have read to the end, you undoubtedly have them!
