Ingredients

• potatoes - 500 grams
• pork belly with layers of fat - 300 grams
• garlic - 2 cloves
• onion - 2 large
• flour - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• yolk - 1
• vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• salt to taste

Cooking

Peel the onion and cut it into small and thin pieces.



Cut the brisket into small pieces as well.



Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat and lay out the meat. After it is slightly fried (fry over medium heat so that the fat is rendered), add the onion. Fry a little again. Don't salt!



Peel potatoes, wash well, pat dry with paper towels and grate on a fine grater. Drain excess liquid.



Squeeze the garlic into the potatoes.



Put flour. Stir.



Put the butter and half of the meat into the potatoes. Salt to taste, stir.



Fold in pots and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about an hour. Do not cover pots.
Stew the meat in a pan until fully cooked, salt to taste.



Serve the babka hot with the pieces of meat from the pan on top.

Babka can be baked in both large and small portioned pots. In this case, the dish is turned over onto a plate, and pieces of meat are laid out on top and watered with melted fat.

Sour cream and cold milk will suit the grandmother.

In addition to salt, you can add black pepper, cumin or a drop of nutmeg.

If you take lean meat, then butter or sour cream (but not sour) will be good additives. But not necessarily - not everyone is suitable for "greasy" meat and all sorts of "aggravating" fatty elements. Instead of meat, you can also use dietary veal or minced chicken, it will still be delicious! If you want to enhance the “harmfulness” of the dish, add some smoked pieces to the brisket. It's just an extraordinary choice.

The vegetable component is also at your discretion. Feel free to add carrots (for the given amount, 2 pieces, chopped on a grater like potatoes). If you decide to add mushrooms, it is better that they are odorous forest mushrooms - for example, chanterelles, porcini, boletus. Mushrooms (100 g) in thinly sliced, sautéed with onions.

To make fluffy potato babka, pour in half a cup of hot milk and mix thoroughly.

To keep the potatoes from browning during the grating process, first grate a quarter of a large onion and mix with each newly grated potato.

And the last tip - how to get a "fried" crust (some people like): at the very end of cooking, about 5 minutes before turning it off, put the grandmother on the top shelf of the oven.

Potato babka is extremely satisfying, and the combination of potatoes and meat will infuriate the followers of a separate diet. Just in case, keep this in mind. You have been warned: this is a very tasty and unusually satiating dish for a healthy digestive system.
