What to add to the filling for dumplings

That secret additive is... potatoes.

Pass the raw vegetable through a meat grinder. Mix the resulting mass with the minced meat.

Important point: for every 250 grams of meat component there should be 200 grams of potato mass.

To improve the taste, add some garlic to the resulting filling. Grate one clove. Don't forget about the onion component.

A mixture of minced meat with potatoes, onions and garlic is the perfect filling for pelmeni. The finished dish will be a real culinary masterpiece.

For reference

Pelmeni is a Russian dish made from unleavened dough with a minced meat filling, eaten boiled.
