Aspic pie with potatoes on kefir

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a cake on kefir with potatoes? First prepare the filling. In some similar recipes, in addition to potatoes, peeled and finely chopped onion is added to the filling in fresh or fried form. I did not add onions, but for juiciness I added a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise. Garlic can be replaced with dry granulated, and dill - with parsley or other herbs to taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the potatoes, dry them and cut them into small cubes or thin circles. I like to cut potatoes into circles - so it fits tightly, evenly and the pie has a beautiful cut.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel and finely chop the garlic. Wash the dill, dry it and also chop it finely.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling: potatoes, garlic, dill, mayonnaise and spices. Instead of these spices, you can add a special spice mixture for potatoes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix everything well.

6. Step 6:

   

   For the dough, take a fatter kefir (for example, 3.2%), a large egg and flour of the highest grade.

7. Step 7:

   

   Beat the egg with salt until smooth. The protein should be well mixed with the yolk.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour in the kefir at room temperature and mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in the flour sifted with soda and mix again. If you are preparing such a dough for the first time, then fill the flour in parts to control the consistency. I have prepared this dough many times already, so I pour all the flour at once and I know that the consistency will turn out to be the one that is needed.

11. Step 10:

    

    A semi-viscous, flowing dough should turn out. If everything is done correctly, then many small bubbles will appear on the surface of the dough - this means that the reaction of soda with kefir is taking place.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour half of the filling dough into a baking dish lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil. The shape should be sufficient for the entire volume of dough and filling. Keep in mind that the pie may rise during baking, and since the dough has not yet grasped properly, it may leak out of the small mold.

13. Step 12:

    

    Spread potato slices with mayonnaise and dill on top. Pour the rest of the mayonnaise sauce from the bowl onto the potatoes.

14. Step 13:

    

    Fill the filling with the remaining dough. Place the pie in a preheated 180 ° C oven and bake for about 40 minutes until a golden crust appears on the surface.

15. Step 14:

    

    Remove the finished cake from the mold, cut into pieces and serve hot. Bon appetit!
