Step-by-step cooking
Cooking potato cheese is very simple. First you need to peel the potatoes and cook the tubers whole, in halves or as convenient as possible. I cut into strips – so the potatoes will cook faster. Potatoes of any quality are suitable for potato cheese, although I buy the most undeveloped. In my opinion, such potatoes are the tastiest. Moreover, it is not "rotten" and generally more pleasant to cook. It is enough to add only a little salt to the water for potatoes – we will also add salt to the cheese itself.
Ready-made, boiled potatoes need to be ground in a meat grinder or just mash thoroughly. The main thing is that there would be no pieces left. Immediately after that, I season the potato mass with salt and cumin and stir thoroughly. Then I separate the yolk from 6 eggs, also add it to the potatoes and mix the potato mass with cottage cheese.
Now the most important thing. To prepare potato cheese, you need to prepare a bag of ordinary cloth in advance. You can use bags made of very dense nylon, but I sewed several linen ones especially for cheese. They retain the necessary humidity.
After the potato-curd mass is thoroughly mixed, the bag needs to be slightly moistened and put our future potato cheese into it. Then I tie the bag of cheese tightly and put it under the press. After a couple of hours, you can get the cheese, cut it into pieces and surprise your friends with potato cheese with a very pleasant, delicate taste.
