One of the most win-win combinations of foods for cooking dinner and lunch is potatoes and meat. We can often see these two ingredients in famous dishes that haven’t lost their relevance for centuries. For example, mashed potatoes and cutlet, potato German salad and other viands.
We are probably used to eating this common side dish with meat. Habit plays a big role in the development of gastronomic attachment.
Let’s tell you about how you can make a delicious casserole of potatoes and meat for dinner.
Ingredients for potato casserole:
- Meat – 400 g;
- Salt – 1.5 tsp;
- Tomato paste – 1.5 tbsp;
- Onion – 1 pc;
- Potatoes – 700 g.
- Mayonnaise – 3 tbsp;
- Cheese – 50 g.
Ingredients for pickled onions:
- Salt – ½ tsp;
- Sugar – 1 tsp;
- Vinegar 9% – 1 tbsp;
- Water – 100 ml.
Preparation of potato casserole:
Cut a small diced onion, pour salt, sugar. Add vinegar and water to the onion, mix and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
At this time cut meat into thin plates, pour a teaspoon of salt on both sides. Beat the pieces of meat with a knife or a special hammer
. Peeled potatoes cut into thin circles
.
In a saucepan heat water, salt and put potatoes in it, cook potatoes under a lid for 3 minutes.
Grease a deep pan with vegetable oil, overlap ½ of the potatoes on the bottom. Place meat and pickled onions on the potato layer, smear the top with tomato paste.
Overlap the potatoes on the onions, smear with mayonnaise. Shred cheese on a grater, create a cheese cap on the potato layer.
Bake the casserole under foil in the oven at 200 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove the foil from the casserole, continue baking the dish for an additional 20 minutes.
Mayonnaise in this recipe can be replaced with sour cream, so the casserole will be healthier.
We also recommend decorating the dish with herbs after baking.
