Miracle with potatoes and cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a miracle with potatoes and cheese? Prepare the products. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, take it out of the refrigerator in advance, it should become room temperature. Take medium-sized potatoes. Cheese — soft, Adyghe or cheese, good quality, without vegetable fats. I used cheese.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the dough first. How to make dough? Take a large bowl. Pour warm kefir into it. It's not scary if you just took it out of the refrigerator — just dilute the kefir with hot water. Pour soda into it and mix. Leave the kefir to stand for 5 minutes. During this time, the soda will react with the acid in the kefir. As a result, gas will be released, which will make the dough fuller and softer.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then add salt to kefir and sift one cup of flour.

4. Step 4:

   

   Start kneading the dough with a fork. When you mix the first glass of flour, sift another small portion. So, gradually adding flour, knead the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   When it is already difficult to stir with a fork, continue kneading with your hands.

6. Step 6:

   

   Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. It should become homogeneous, smooth and stop sticking to your hands. It took me only two cups of flour, half was not needed. Put the finished dough in a bowl, cover with a napkin and leave to lie down for a while while the filling is being prepared.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the filling. How to make the filling? Wash the potatoes and put them in a saucepan. Fill with cold water and put on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes in a uniform for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size. Determine readiness with a knife — it should easily pierce the tubers. Drain the water and leave the potatoes to cool.

8. Step 8:

   

   Cool the potatoes until they can be picked up without burning. Peel it and mash it with a pusher until it is mashed.

9. Step 9:

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

10. Step 10:

    

    Add grated cheese and sour cream to the mashed potatoes. Add a little salt. Keep in mind that there will already be enough salty cheese in the filling, especially if it is cheese. You can also put any greens to taste in the filling. I decided not to add.

12. Step 11:

    

    Mix all the ingredients until smooth. The filling is ready.

13. Step 12:

    

    Meanwhile, the dough has become even better — all the liquid has finally absorbed into the flour, and gluten has developed in the flour, which is responsible for the elasticity of the dough. Always try to give the kneaded dough a rest, it will be much more convenient to work with it. Divide the dough into 8 parts. Roll out each part on a table dusted with flour into a thin circle.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put a large portion of the filling in the middle of the workpiece.

15. Step 14:

    

    Gather the ends of the dough into the middle and pinch it, forming a kind of bag. Flatten it on top so that it becomes flat.

16. Step 15:

    

    Roll out the resulting tortilla to a thickness of 1 cm. The dough is very thin and can break. Try not to let this happen. Form all the miracles in the same way. I did it right in the frying process — while one tortilla was frying, I was cooking another.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put a frying pan on medium heat. Without greasing it, preheat the pan to a hot state. Put the cake blank on it.

18. Step 17:

    

    Fry the miracle in a dry frying pan until golden brown first on one side, then turn it over on the other. Fry also until golden brown.

19. Step 18:

    

    Remove the finished tortilla to a plate and immediately, while it is hot, brush it with butter. Fry all the tortillas in the same way.

20. Step 19:

    

    Serve the miracle hot with sour cream. Bon appetit!
