While the nightshade is cooking (this process will take at least 20 minutes), fry two diced onions in a frying pan.

When the chopped vegetable becomes soft, add 300 grams of minced meat.

The result will be an onion-meat mixture, which will need to be added to the potato mass obtained after “processing” the boiled nightshade with a potato masher.

Next, prepare the cabbage leaves and wrap the prepared filling in them.

Fry the resulting envelopes and stew them in a sauce consisting of fried carrot and onion mixture, tomato paste and plain water.

After about 40 minutes, the delicious potato cabbage rolls will be ready.
