Potato zrazy is a rather simple dish, which is prepared from the most affordable product in the post-Soviet space, that is, from potatoes. That is why the second name of potato zraz is “cartoplane.” Despite the simplicity of the recipe, this dish can be safely served to the festive table, of course, if you slightly supplement the standard recipe with any additional highlight.
The basis of zraz is ordinary mashed potatoes. It is enough to boil the potatoes, and then shred it with a “tinder box”. You can also grind it into gruel using a meat grinder or a blender. At the same time, water is not added to the potato mass, despite the fact that it’s kind of like the “dough base” of the future dish, but they put eggs, flour and butter. It is from the resulting mass that the “dough" is kneaded, from which zrazy is subsequently fashioned.
If everything is standard with the preparation of the “test”, then there is simply no way with the choice of the filling of the standards! They use meat, fish, mushrooms, vegetables for it, and this list can be continued and supplemented with any relevant products. Due to this, there are so many recipes for potato zraz. That is why you can always come up with your own version of a recipe that no one has tried before.
To sculpt, or how to speak more correctly, to form zrazy is simple. On the palms of the dough we make a flat cake-blank and lay the filling on it. After that, we stick them up like regular pies that you make from regular yeast dough. After that, put them on a pan or baking sheet and fry or bake until cooked.
