4. Stuffing is transferred to a separate container. We break one egg into the same container, sprinkle with ground pepper and salt. In principle, these spices are enough. But if you like some special seasonings for fish, then you can add them.
   
5. Add the onion cubes fried until golden. But the oil in which the onions were fried, you do not need to add. Mix well all the components of the stuffing and temporarily set it aside.

11. To make the mashed potatoes not turn out acidic, add 1 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. salt without a hill. Season with a pinch of ground black pepper or a mixture of peppers. You can try mashed potatoes and add salt or sugar if necessary. The main thing is that you like the taste. Pour the tomato mixture into a pan with vegetables and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes on low heat. Then again take a sample for the amount of salt and pepper.
    
12. Set the sauce aside or pour it into the pan. We heat a clean pan, pour vegetable oil into it. From the minced meat we form small round meatballs and fry over medium heat in a pan. The task of this stage is to fry until golden brown on all sides.
    
13. Put the baked meatballs in one layer in a container with tomato and vegetable sauce. Gently drown the fish balls in the sauce and pour them on top.
    
14. Cover and simmer for 7 - 10 minutes. Turn off the fire and wait a while until the liquid ceases to boil. The dish is ready to serve. They are served with gravy as a separate dish or with mashed potatoes. To decorate, cut a bunch of fresh dill and sprinkle meatballs in a plate.
