Let's move on to the filling of our strudel. Mix the minced meat, which I defrosted in advance, with chopped onion in a blender. Salt, pepper, add spices to taste. Mix well. You can also add mushrooms, finely chopped carrots and other vegetables to the minced meat.
Roll out the dough. Place the minced meat on the dough and level it out. Roll the dough with minced meat into a roll.
Cut the roll into small pieces. About 3 cm. You can make it thinner, it will cook faster. Leave them for 15 minutes.
Add potatoes to a deep saucepan. Pour some water (so that the potatoes are 1/3 covered with water). Salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. When the water has boiled, add the strudels.
