How to cook cutlets with mushroom filling:

1. So, peel the onions and chop them finely. Then heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and then fry our chopped onion in it until golden brown. Don't forget to stir the onion periodically.
2. Meanwhile, clean and then rinse the mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Then cut them into small pieces and add them to the frying pan with the onions. Salt and pepper the mushrooms to taste, simmer with onions until the mushrooms are completely cooked and browned.
Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater (or put it through a garlic press). Add it to the mushrooms 2-3 minutes before they are ready. Note that garlic is added to the dish as desired.
3. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large pieces. Then we send it to boil in salted water (until fully cooked). It should be noted that large pieces will not boil as much as small ones.
Now drain all the water and put the pan with the potatoes back on low heat to evaporate all the liquid (make sure that the potatoes do not fry, much less burn). Remove it from the heat and add butter, as well as ground black pepper (add salt if necessary). Then we make a homogeneous puree from the boiled potatoes.
4. Cool the finished puree slightly and add an egg to it, as well as 3 tbsp. l. flour, mix everything thoroughly again. After this, pour about 1/2 cup of flour onto a plate or cutting board (whichever is convenient for you), in which we will roll the cutlets. Now we begin to form our cutlets.
Scoop up the potato dough with a wet tablespoon and place it on a flour mound. Then, with a wet hand, make a small cake from the dough, and put the mushroom filling in its center (do not put a lot so that it does not fall out of the cutlets).
Next, carefully connect the edges of the cutlets (seal them well), and then roll the cutlets in flour.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the shaped cutlets in it (fry them over medium heat on each side until a beautiful golden brown crust forms).

You can also cook delicious potato cutlets with mushrooms and minced meat in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • Mashed potatoes - 800 gr.,
  • Champignons - 300 gr.,
  • Minced meat - 200 gr.,
  • Eggs - 2 pcs.,
  • Onion - 1 pc.,

Potato cutlets with mushrooms and minced meat in the oven - recipe

Finely chop the onion with a knife. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Lay out the minced meat. Salt and pepper it. Stirring to prevent large lumps from forming, fry the minced meat for 10 minutes. As in previous recipes, fry the champignons with onions in vegetable oil. Mix minced meat and mushrooms. The filling for potato cutlets is ready.

To prepare the potato base, place mashed potatoes in a bowl, add egg and flour. Salt and pepper it to taste. Mix the mixture. Grease a baking tray with sunflower oil. Roll the potato mixture into a flat cake. Place mushrooms with minced meat in the center of the flatbread. Roll into a cutlet. Place mashed potato cutlets on a baking sheet. Bake them for 30 minutes at 180C.

For these cutlets, it doesn’t matter whether you use fresh or frozen mushrooms. The main thing is that these are prefabricated forest mushrooms (and not champignons or, for example, just honey mushrooms), then the cutlets will turn out tender and with a unique taste. If the mushrooms, like mine, were frozen, then they do not require complete defrosting. 15-20 minutes are enough for the ice crust on their surface to melt.

While the mushrooms are thawing, you can start peeling the potatoes and garlic. Then put our mushrooms in boiling salted water to cook for 30 minutes (after boiling).

While the mushrooms are cooking, finely grate the potatoes and garlic on a fine grater or in a blender.

Add eggs and salt to the resulting mass and mix until completely homogeneous.

Place the cooked mushrooms in a colander to drain. I’ll tell you a secret, you don’t need to pour out the dark liquid from cooking them - it will make an amazing sauce. I'll tell you a little later.

We throw the cooled mushrooms into a blender or grind them into minced meat in a regular meat grinder. I prefer a blender.

As a result, we will have 2 containers with ingredients for future mushroom cutlets.

Now that the minced mushroom has cooled completely, combine both compositions in one bowl. Mix well. The consistency is still a little liquid, don't be alarmed.

To ensure that the cutlets in the frying pan do not lose their shape, eggs alone are not enough. That’s why we add a little flour to the cutlet base. Adding flour in small portions, we continue to thoroughly knead the mass.

The result is a slightly viscous (like pancake) “dough”. It is held loosely in the spoon and slowly but surely falls from it.

In a frying pan, pre-heated and greased with oil, place the cutlets at a distance from each other to prevent them from sticking together.

Fry like regular potato pancakes - until browned. Then turn it over and fry on the other side.

Ready-made mushroom cutlets can be placed in one container directly on top of each other - they do not stick or wrinkle. You can serve fresh wild mushroom cutlets to the table by sprinkling with finely chopped herbs or dousing them with delicious cheese sauce, which (as promised) I’ll tell you about below.

Secret cheese sauce for mushroom cutlets:
Chop the garlic into the mushroom infusion from cooking and put it on the fire. At this time, add a little flour to 1/2 cup of milk and thoroughly beat the thickened mass with a fork. As soon as the mushroom infusion boils, pour in the whipped mixture in a slow stream.

Continue to gently stir the sauce. Reduce the temperature of the burner, chop the greens (any) and grate the cheese (a little). Add all this to the sauce. Stir and turn off after the cheese has melted. An amazing sauce, perfect for mushroom and potato cutlets!
