Every housewife has her own secret for making tender and airy cutlets.
Some, for example, add potatoes to meat dough.
This is where cooking newbies may have a question. But don't panic.
The vegetable helps to keep the shape, makes the mass more juicy, tender, and the taste of the dish ultimately becomes more interesting. It is only important to pre-grind the root vegetable. If the vegetable was pre-cooked, then it can be pounded.
But when should you add boiled potatoes and when raw ones?
If the shape of the cutlets is important, it is better to take ready-made potatoes. They can also be mixed into the minced meat if the meat dough is too liquid.
If the meat is too dry (chicken or beef), it is better to add raw potatoes. It is advisable to add mashed potatoes to minced pork.
But don't overdo it. For every kilogram of minced meat you should take 1 root vegetable.
