Potato Zrazy can be made with different fillings – stuffing, meat, mushrooms, cabbage, etc. The main problem many housewives encounter is that the potato rissoles crack and fall apart when fried.
Potato Zrazy are made, but they fall apart – the reasons
It seems that cooking crazy is not difficult – you need to form a flatbread from mashed potatoes, put the filling inside, seal the edges, and fry zrazy in a pan. However, in the process of frying, the dish can fall apart – the reasons for this are:
- the type of potato is not suitable for mashed potatoes;
- mashed potatoes are too liquid – it is not possible to form tortillas properly;
- Mashed potatoes are too dry – this causes cracks;
- the potatoes are not cooked in a jacket.
The last point is especially interesting. Herein lies one of the main secrets of perfect ravioli – potatoes should be boiled in a jacket and only then mashed. In addition, you should not add milk to the potato mixture, but you should add 2-3 tablespoons of flour – it will “glue” the mixture.
