Ingredients for dough:

250 g cottage cheese

100 g flour

4 grated potatoes

salt to taste

Ingredients for filling:

100 g pork and beef minced meat

onion, chopped

25 g egg
1 tbsp flour

salt and pepper

Combine the cottage cheese, grated potatoes, flour and salt, mix them well until you get soft and flexible dough. Keep it in the bowl for a while and make the filling meanwhile.

For the filling, add finely chopped onion, the raw egg, salt and spices to the pork and beef mince and mix it.

To make pyzy, form a round flatbread 1 cm thick (length ca 7 cm and wide 4 cm) , put the filling inside, cover it with a second flatbread and fix the edges.

Fry the pyzy in hot vegetable oil at 190 C from both sides (4 minutes from each side) until they get a beautiful golden color. 

Serve hot with sour cream.
