Dish history
When Tsar Peter I introduced potatoes in his state (along with coffee, tobacco, and many other products), royal meat appeared on the tables of wealthy citizens. Very much the emperor was worried that his subjects should be fully integrated into Europe, and that propagated (by his own methods) introduced root crops. Citizens showed loyalty to such a tsarist policy, but the dish was still made in Russian. Baked meat with potatoes, mushrooms, vegetables, and even with pickles in sour cream sauce. Served on the table as pulled out of the oven - in clay pots. Today we can cook royal meat in the oven or in a slow cooker. Everything will be equally tasty.
