Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
How to make French-style meat in the oven with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take pork without bones. Peel and rinse the potatoes. Take one medium-sized onion or two small ones.
Step 2:
Cut the peeled potatoes into thin circles and dry them. Then pour a little refined vegetable oil on it and mix so that the oil covers all the potatoes. Thanks to such an oil film, potatoes will not dry when baking, will not lose moisture and will bake well.
Step 3:
For baking, take any heat-resistant mold. Lubricate the bottom and sides of the mold with vegetable oil and put the sliced potatoes in it in one layer. Add a little salt and pepper. Use a cooking brush to brush the potato layer with half of the mayonnaise.
Step 4:
Cut pork meat into portions about 1 cm thick and beat off a little on both sides with a kitchen hammer.
Step 5:
Put the pork on the potatoes. Also add salt and pepper.
Step 6:
Peel the onion, rinse with cold water. Cut into thin half rings.
Step 7:
Put the onion on top of the meat. Add a little salt and pepper. If you like, add 2-3 cloves of garlic, slicing it into thin plates.
Step 8:
Brush the onion layer with the remaining half of the mayonnaise.
Step 9:
Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle it with the last layer. Cheese can be any, the main thing is that it is of high quality and melts well. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40-60 minutes until the potatoes are soft. After 30 minutes, cover the top of the mold with foil so that the cheese does not burn. Bake for about 30 more minutes. It is not necessary to seal tightly with foil. Just put it on top so that the moisture can evaporate.
Step 10:
Serve the French-style meat with potatoes immediately until it cools down. As an accompaniment, you can serve pickles, fresh vegetables, herbs.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself, it will be both tastier and healthier.

If you want, replace mayonnaise with sour cream or natural yogurt.

If desired, add spices that are suitable for meat.

The recipe can be supplemented. Put tomato slices on top, sprinkle with chopped herbs to taste, for example, dill or parsley.

In addition to pork, any other meat can be used in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. For example, beef is cooked longer than pork, and chicken fillet or turkey is less.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

Any heat-resistant form is suitable for this recipe. If you use a silicone mold, then you do not need to smear it with butter or margarine. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baking does not burn.
