You can also add dry Provençal herbs or fresh herbs, coriander and other seasonings to taste to the dough.

For the inside, use any mushrooms you like. If you can’t find new ones, replace them with dried ones.

Potato cutlets with mushrooms are usually fried in vegetable oil. But if you want to reduce the calorie content and increase the usefulness of the dish, then bake them in the oven. To cook without oil, use a silicone mat.

How to cook potato cutlets with mushrooms

It will take about an hour to prepare the dish. Potatoes take the longest to cook. If you already have ready-made puree, then things will go faster.

Let's tell you how to cook cutlets:

Make mashed potatoes.

Tackle the potatoes first. Peel the vegetables, cut into small cubes and boil in salted water until tender. Then drain the liquid, making sure that no liquid remains: excess water will destroy the structure of the cutlets.

Mash the potatoes and let them cool.

Take care of mushrooms.

Wash the mushrooms under running water, peel off the top layer as necessary. Cut into small cubes and place them in a dry frying pan without oil. Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it with a knife.

When the mushrooms have given up all the excess liquid, add vegetable and butter to the pan and lightly fry the filling. Then add the onions to the mushrooms and fry until tender.

Place the filling in a colander to drain off excess oil.

Make potato dough.

Add eggs, flour to warm potatoes and knead into a soft, soft dough.

Form cutlets.

All that remains is to decide what kind of cutlet it will be. If you plan to cook a dish with insides, then divide the potato dough into uniform balls, roll them out with a rolling pin or flatten them with your hands. Place the mushroom filling inside and carefully pinch.

If you don’t want to waste time on this, add the mushrooms to the dough and stir well, and then form cutlets from the minced potatoes.

Bring the cutlets to readiness.

Weekend thought: potato cutlets with mushrooms

For the cutlets, prepare the insides, mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce separately.

Mushroom inside

Instead of white mushrooms, you can use champignons or chanterelles, or any seasonal mushrooms to make minced meat.

Cut 300-400 g of white, strong champignons into large slices. Finely chop two medium onions. Fry mushrooms and onions in a frying pan in a mixture of vegetable oil and butter.

When the mushrooms are half cooked, sprinkle them with 1 tsp. flour and add 4 tbsp. l. cream (20% fat). Also salt, pepper to taste and 1/2 clove of grated garlic and a little dill. If the inside is thick, thin it slightly with cream.

Mashed potatoes

Now it's time for mashed potatoes. Take note of the recipe. You can use it to cook cutlets without the inside. Serve as a separate dish or as a side dish for meat and fish dishes.

Wash and peel 1 kg of potatoes. Boil until tender and puree in a blender with butter - 100-120 g.

Beat two eggs with a fork and add to mashed potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste, add ground nutmeg (on the tip of a knife), 1.5 tbsp. l. flour and ½ tsp. ground dry paprika. Beat the puree again, about 5-7 minutes. You will get a fluffy potato mass.

Liezon

We will need this sauce for frying the cutlets - so that the mass does not disperse throughout the pan. For lezon you need to mix and beat ½ glass of milk, 3 eggs, 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce, salt and pepper (to taste).

Cutlets

Form cutlets from the potato mixture. Their size should be larger than that of meat. About the size of your palm. Make a small depression in the middle of each cutlet, put the mushroom filling and seal it so that the inside is one hundred percent closed.

Dip the cutlets into the leison. Then roll in breadcrumbs and fry in a frying pan in a mixture of vegetable oil and butter until golden brown.

Mushroom sauce

Be sure to prepare mushroom sauce for the cutlets. There’s no way without him. I prefer the mushroom filling and sauce from the caps of snow-white mushrooms dried in a Russian oven. As they say here in Plyos, the smell of snow-whites is “eat your mind!”

For the sauce, cook mushroom, vegetable or chicken broth in advance. Measure out 250 ml.

Heat 100 g of butter and a tablespoon of flour in a frying pan. Add a glass of chopped mushrooms. Carefully pour in the broth and stir quickly so that there are no lumps. Add a little more than half a glass of cream (20% fat), salt, pepper, garlic and dill to taste. You will get a thick sauce with mushrooms.

Serve the mushroom cutlets with the mushroom sauce. They are especially good when piping hot - golden brown and crispy.

“My mother’s mother, my grandmother, a Cossack woman, Olga Vladimirovna, didn’t even have a letter, but she was a housewife - wow! And I learned my first life lessons from her. And my capital grandmother Klavdia Vladimirovna is every day, the theater, museums, the first skills of etiquette. We lived a huge part of our lives in Zamoskvorechye, on Shchepka. Aunt, uncle, father, me - we all graduated from school 627. They gave me everything they could: the Loktevsky Choir, the Bolshoi Theater, the Hall of Columns, music, painting, songs with a guitar, a dacha in Zagorsk, playing lotto until the morning with a samovar. Dad was a great cook, and I learned a lot from him.

I lived in France for 10 years, first in Paris, later in Burgundy. But she returned to Russia. I have a small, intimate hotel on the Volga, in Ples, with a wonderful restaurant “Personal Visit”. I am happy to entertain my family, my kids, guests and occasional travelers - with homemade dishes, smells, indescribable abundance.”

Cutlets with insides or zrazy are the national dish of Lithuanian cuisine. But over time, they spread throughout Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, where they became very popular. Previously, the dish had nothing in common with what we eat now.

Zrazy were cutlets made from minced meat, inside which mushrooms, vegetables, seafood, cheese, cereals and even fruits were placed. Modern zrazy look slightly different: they are made from mashed potatoes, and minced meat or mushroom filling is hidden in the middle.

The process of making potato cutlets with mushroom interior

Peel the potatoes, wash them, cut them into pieces, put them in a saucepan and cover with water. Add salt and after boiling, cook for about 15-20 minutes until soft.

Check readiness with a fork; it should just go into the tubers.

If desired, for greater smell and taste, you can put a bay leaf and aromatic peppercorns (which are later removed) into the pan.
Add water to the finished potatoes and pound with a masher, turning them into puree.

Do not beat with a blender, otherwise the gluten will begin to separate and the potatoes will become “rubbery”.

Place the mashed potatoes in a bowl and add flour. Let's knead the dough.

Wash the champignons, cut them into cubes and fry them in a heated frying pan in vegetable oil.

When all the moisture released from the mushrooms has evaporated, add finely chopped onion to the pan.

Season the mushrooms with salt and ground pepper and fry until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Next, take a portion of the dough, roll it into a ball and press it down to make a round cake. Place it on a board dusted with flour. Place a small portion of mushroom innards on top in the middle.

Lift the edges of the cake and fasten them together to make a pie.

Let's take it in our hands and twist it, giving it a smooth oval shape. Then bread it in flour.

Heat a frying pan with oil and place the cutlets.

Over medium heat, fry them on both sides until golden brown.

Serve potato cutlets with mushrooms hot, although they are no less tasty when chilled.
