Potato sorcerers with minced meat are one of the most delicious dishes of Belarusian cuisine. Initially they consisted of dough with meat filling. Later, sorcerers were transformed into potato pancakes with filling. No flour or eggs were added to the potatoes. The necessary elasticity of the mass was given by natural starch, which settled at the bottom of the vessel after excess moisture was squeezed out of the potatoes. You can cook sorcerers not only with meat. The filling can be very varied, depending on the personal preferences of the hostess.

Belarusian sorcerers with meat

Belarusian sorcerers with meat is a popular dish that can be tried in many cafes and restaurants, but in home kitchens it is prepared less and less, due to the labor-intensive nature of the process. Grating potatoes on a fine grater is long and tedious. But believe me, the result is worth it. In addition, you can use modern kitchen gadgets that can handle potatoes in a matter of seconds. Although grandmothers say that the taste of such sorcerers differs from the authentic Belarusian one to which they are accustomed. After all, everything should be done by hand and with love. Try to cook Belarusian-style sorcerers in the oven. The dish is hearty and tasty.

Leave half the grated onion for minced meat. Season with salt and pepper mixture.

Mix and form small balls with your hands, about the size of a quail egg. This must be done in advance so that by the time the sorcerers are sculpted, everything will be at hand. For now, place the minced meat in the refrigerator.

Grated potatoes contain a lot of juice.

You need to squeeze it out with your hands or with gauze and set it aside.

After a few minutes, drain the liquid; starch will settle at the bottom of the bowl.

Fold the edges up so that the minced meat is inside.

As you sculpt, place the sorcerers in a hot frying pan and fry over high heat on both sides until light golden brown.

Potato witches

Sorcerers are one of the ancient Belarusian dishes. There are two varieties of this dish - made from flour and potatoes. We suggest you prepare the second option, in which minced meat is wrapped in grated potatoes, fried, and then stewed.

The word sorcerers came into the Old Belarusian language back in the 15th century; it is not known for sure from the Czech or German languages. As a rule, sorcerers cooked in large quantities, because their main task was to quickly feed a large number of people.

This dish is tasty and satisfying - a great dinner option for the whole family.

Young potatoes are not suitable for sorcerers; it is better to take “old” ones.

• Recipe author: Ekaterina Patskevich
• After cooking you will receive 10 pcs.
• Cooking time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes
• 200 g onion
• 4 tbsp. wheat flour
• 300 g minced meat
• vegetable oil
• ground black pepper
• salt

Cooking method

• Prepare the ingredients. If the minced meat is frozen, defrost it first. The recipe uses minced chicken and pork, but you can replace it with other meat to suit your taste. Peel the onions and potatoes. Turn on the oven and preheat to 200 degrees.
• Grate the potatoes and half the onion into a large bowl using a fine grater. Stir the onions and grated potatoes periodically to prevent the potatoes from darkening.
• From the resulting mass, drain the excess liquid released after light pressing movements. This needs to be done so that in the future the sorcerers will keep their shape when frying. Or you can squeeze out the excess liquid by placing the potato mixture in cheesecloth and then squeezing it out.
• Add salt, pepper, flour to the potatoes and stir.
• Add the remaining onion, grated on a fine grater, to the minced meat. Add salt, pepper and mix everything thoroughly.
• Pour vegetable oil into a heated frying pan. First add a portion of the potato mixture with a tablespoon; Place a spoonful of minced meat in the middle of each potato cake. Press down a little so that the sorcerers are not very tall.
• Carefully place another layer of potato mixture on top, thereby “wrapping” the meat filling into the potato dough. Fry the sorcerers on both sides until golden brown. Place in a baking dish in one layer and pour a glass of boiling water - this will cook them much faster. Cover the pan with foil and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees on a medium level. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
• The sorcerers
  are ready.
• Bon appetit!
