Potato patties or zrazy – small pies, which are prepared on the basis of mashed potatoes with different fillings. And although their preparation takes a lot of time, the result sometimes exceeds the wildest expectations.
For zrazy, it is advisable to steam the potatoes so that they do not boil and do not turn out watery. Otherwise, a lot of flour will have to be added to the potato dough, which will adversely affect the quality of the zrazy. For the filling, you can take pork, chicken or ground beef. Onions and spices will make it fragrant and juicy.
