Lithuanian Zeppelins

400 grams of potatoes boil, the remaining 1300 - finely grate with a food processor Ingredients: Instructions

400 grams of potatoes boil, the remaining 1300 - finely grate with a food processor (you can and hands on the smallest grater, but for a long time). Chop onion and garlic in a blender and add to the pork forcemeat with salt and pepper. We put finely grated potatoes in a bowl, previously covered with 3-4 layers of gauze. Squeeze the grated potatoes well from the liquid. But without fanaticism - do not try to squeeze out all the juices at all. Now it is very important - in the bowl in which we pressed the potatoes, the potato starch must remain at the bottom. The liquid is drained, and the starch is left and added to the grated potato. If it did not work out - add a purchase, without starch zeppelins do not stick together. Mix the grated potatoes with chopped boiled potatoes. Solim, pepper and mix. So, we have a potato dough and we have minced meat. Now we take part of the test (from the indicated quantity of ingredients, 8 zeppelins should be made - so that the whole dough is divided into 8 parts), put in the middle of the forcemeat and very tightly tear the edges, forming our zeppelin. Look at the photo for clarity. When all the zeppelins are stuck - we put them in boiling water (I emphasize, in boiling !!!) water. In a saucepan it should be spacious, otherwise zeppelins will fall apart. Zeppelins cook for about 25 minutes over medium heat. In the meantime, they cook, we make branded sauce. Cut into small slices (as in the photo) pork side, salt, pepper and fry 2-3 minutes in a frying pan. Add the chopped onion into the frying pan. Fry for another 2 minutes. Fill the whole thing with sour cream and stew for about 5 minutes. Welded zeppelins carefully from the water and served with our sauce. Bon appetit, or Skanaus, as the Lithuanians say!
