Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients. Peel the potatoes.
Step 2:

Grate the potatoes on a medium grater and, before they darken, squeeze out the excess liquid.
Step 3:

Add the egg, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.
Step 4:

Add the cornstarch.
Step 5:

Mix well.
Step 6:

Press a clove of garlic into the ground pork and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Step 7:

If the potatoes still released a lot of liquid and the mixture is runny, stir in a spoonful of flour.
Step 8:

Pour oil into a skillet and heat it slightly.
Step 9:

Spoon out flat rounds of the potato mixture.
Step 10:

Top each potato round with a patty of the meat filling.
Step 11:

Cover with another layer of potato. Cover with a lid and fry for 5 minutes over medium heat. On an electric stove, turn the heat to the lowest setting and cook until the bottom potato layer is golden.
Step 12:

Flip the kolduny over and fry, covered, over low heat for another 10 minutes.
Step 13:

Once the kolduny are golden and the meat inside is cooked through, transfer them to a plate.
Step 14:

Kolduny are best eaten hot.
