Potatoes may not be one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet, but they definitely hold a place of honor among the most cultivated root vegetables. From the time when potatoes first began to develop in Europe as an edible vegetable, they were treated with disdain. It would seem that the root vegetable is harmless and tasty. However, it has poisonous flowers, of which peasants and farmers did not know.
With cottage cheese is associated with another story of appearance. This fermented milk product was made by the Romans in antiquity. Everything happened by chance – the milk went sour. It
seems that both products are quite different and it would be strange to combine them in one dish. We tried to make pies with both ingredients – it turned out great!

Preparation of potato-curd pies:
It is necessary to boil in a liter of water pre-cleaned potatoes until ready. In the boiled potatoes integrate butter and a spoonful of salt, create a mashed potato
. Add cottage cheese to the mashed potatoes, continue to mix the ingredients until homogeneous. Finely chop dill, pour it into the cottage cheese-potato puree.
In a bowl with kefir, break an egg, pour vegetable oil, pour salt, granulated sugar and baking soda. Beat the mixture to a homogeneous liquid, into which sift the flour. Knead an elastic dough, put it in the heat for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 10 parts, from each lump form a small flatbread. Spoon a spoonful of filling into each flatbread, fasten the opposite ends of the dough. Tamp the resulting patties well, so that they were flattened.
Fry the patties on both sides until golden crust on hot oil at medium heat.
You get delicious pies with a tender filling of potatoes and cottage cheese.
