That is a quite fatty brisket I have...

Clean quite a lot of potatoes and some onions. Really need three bulbs, but the last is applied at the very end, so I took it in the end to a little dried out. It should be noted that since my childhood I suffer from megalomania, and if you want to cook this dish just to try and not to feed a dozen people, proportionately reduce the number of ingredients. In the recipe I gave, as I had.

In the usual way, through a meat grinder, have namely of minced pork one onion. Salt and pepper, beat, as usual, and sent to marinate in the refrigerator, covered with a lid. Besides pepper and salt, nothing more. It is now we have a whole kitchen jars filled with spices, and in the time of grandmother Lazerson such luxury was not. Salt Yes pepper, that's the whole story. While easy, right?

Now will begin. Beef is brewing, and I scrubbed all the potatoes on a medium grater, which is considered to be cheesy.

Then press the potato mixture through cheesecloth. Tip: if you mass a lot, it is better to divide it and pressing parts.

The liquid from the potatoes pressing not down the sink and in a separate bowl, it will settle down starch, and it is needed for bonding.

The second onion RUB and add to the weight, a bit depressing in the hand. Excess moisture is not needed.

The weight of three eggs, three spoonfuls of flour, salt and mix with your hands until smooth. The dough - not batter, mashed potatoes not mashed potatoes...

We must not forget to return the starch to the mass. He quickly settles in the bowl at the bottom.

Then divide the mass into equal portions and proceed directly to the preparation of showers... or shower?..

Unfortunately, there is no way to photograph the process of sculpting the showers, both hands are busy, but I will try to describe. At first I thought it was extremely difficult, but starting with the third soul, I have fashioned, well, if you don't like grandma Lazerson, how Sam Lazerson for sure! Mass put on one palm and replusive her. The other hand take the stuffing and make a rough chop, how it can be done with one hand and put on potato mixture. And now two hands are trying to get a meat Patty in potato shell. Have you ever seen a live hedgehog? I have in the country a lot of them. If I can catch it with a towel or MITT and put back in his holding, he will roll into a ball. Now, hand movements must be such that we want to help the hedgehog, lying in the palm of our hands, curl up into a ball. That's the Association... Caution! Don't do as big as I am, it's not bad, then just uncomfortable to work with them. I did them in my hand and the size of your palm. It's my fault. The size of women's hands is the most it! Ready raw soul to be folded on a flour covered plate.

Sure fry until brown in a skillet. Heavily sprinkle the flour is not necessary, and it will burn in the pan. So, slightly...

Fried in a cast iron soul put latkes on a bed of potatoes and onions. A little vegetable oil on the bottom and arbitrarily chopped onion and chopped unpeeled potatoes, and are laid on top of the soul. Something like that. Close lid and microscopic fire, using dividers, the whole story is languishing a long time... And then my passion for gigantism has played a cruel joke with me. One patch not fit all, thank God is second. Then when I made it, I thought, why not torment all in the oven? It is clear that given the time when my grandmother Lazerson prepared these souls, and little Ilya looked at it, and their place of residence, it was, perhaps, the only way longing. Maybe they have homes did not have ovens, or she could not provide a low enough temperature. Now in modern ovens can be supplied at a temperature of about 100 degrees and to torment himself quietly. Well, I think so... I had to simmer for 1.5 hours instead of 4.5 hours, but I blame myself. Have done too much. To the top showers the heat got too long. Another plus to the side of the oven, where heat is distributed more evenly would. But I did authentic.

Well, after 4.5 hours the result. Modest, a little gray, but very interesting soul. I beg to love and favor!
