Getting fluffy and tender cheesecakes is a great joy for any gourmet.

It is generally accepted that the ideal consistency of cottage cheese pancakes depends not on certain culinary steps, but on luck.

It is supposedly possible to get soft and airy cheesecakes only if the cook is “lucky”.

However, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova does not agree with this conclusion.

According to the specialist, there is an ingredient that guarantees the desired result.

What to mix cottage cheese with to get perfect syrniki

Do you want to make the most fluffy and soft curd cakes?

Then combine the main ingredient with… potatoes.

Don't be surprised! It is this vegetable that will provide the cheesecakes with the perfect airiness.

Don't worry that nightshade will have a negative effect on the taste of the dish! In this regard, the ingredient will be neutral.

But the consistency of the food will change. For the better, of course.

Boil one potato, mash it and mix with cottage cheese, as well as other components of the cheesecake base (raw egg, flour, granulated sugar, vanillin, salt).

Thanks to the potato ingredient, the curd "balls" will instantly rise during frying and will not lose their shape.
