Why do cutlets acquire a sour taste: this additive has no place in minced meat

When preparing cutlets, many housewives add bread soaked in milk or water to the minced meat along with the other ingredients.

However, this component causes the dish to acquire a sour taste, which intensifies when the dish is heated.

It goes without saying that no one wants to eat sour cutlets, so experienced cooks have found a replacement for bakery products in this dish.

Instead, try adding grated potatoes to the mince.

To shred potatoes, use the side of the grater with the smallest holes.

The taste of the cutlets will, of course, change a little, but they will definitely not be sour – instead, they will become more juicy and tasty.

By the way, this is not the only additive that can be used to make cutlets.

You can mix boiled buckwheat, rice, oatmeal, scalded cabbage with grated carrots with the minced meat.
