Grandma's Potato

We prepare products:

The technology of cooking (step by step) potatoes in pots (you could familiarize yourself with the photo of the finished dish above):

1. We clean our potato tubers. It is better to take a potato of small size (4-5 cm in diameter).
2. Onion cut into half rings. If you do not really like onions in food, then you can cut into small pieces. Pour it into a frying pan with oil.
3. Peel the carrots, rub and send to the onion. Let the vegetables be fried until golden onions.
4. The next step is to fill the pots with potatoes. We do not cut the tubers, but use the whole. Fill the potato pot into 2/3 parts.
5. From minced meat, you need to mold balls similar to meatballs. Determine the size of the products yourself, depending on preference. But remember that very large meatballs are best not to do.
   
   The optimum diameter of the products is 3-4 cm in diameter.
6. We “cover” potato and meat balls with sautéed carrots and onions.
7. Make broth fill. To do this, pour the cubes with hot water and mix until they dissolve. Crush garlic through a press and pour it into the broth.
8. Pour our potatoes in pots to half. We send the dishes with the dish to the cold oven and then turn it on. After warming up, the cooking time can be counted. In a preheated oven to 180 degrees, the dish should be languished for 1.5-2 hours.
9. When the dish is ready, sprinkle it with herbs.
