Step cooking

1. We peel one kilogram of potato, wash it under the tap, cut it into small pieces, put it in a pan, fill it with cold water and put on fire. Bring to a boil, add two bay leaves, one teaspoon of salt, reduce heat, leave to cook until cooked.
   
2. One large onion weighing 200 grams is peeled, washed under running water, cut into quarters on a cutting board.
   
3. We put the pan on the fire, pour 50 ml of refined vegetable oil there, when the oil is warmed up, send the onion into the pan, fry it to a soft, translucent state. We place the fried onions in a separate container, remove so far to the side.
   
4. We begin to prepare the dough for flat cakes. To do this, break one chicken egg into a separate bowl, beat it with a whisk a little.
   
5. To a beaten egg we add 50 grams of butter softened in advance in the microwave, one teaspoon of sugar and salt, again, beat well with a whisk.
   
6. Sieve wheat flour in an amount of 300-400 grams through a sieve, add to the bowl to the milk-cream mixture, add gradually, in parts. We observe the consistency of the dough, because the quality of flour is different, so it can be a lot or, conversely, a little. We need to knead a soft, elastic dough.
   
7. Knead the dough very carefully for 5-8 minutes.
   
8. Then wrap the dough in cling film and leave at room temperature for 20-25 minutes.
   
9. Meanwhile, the potatoes have already been cooked. Strain the water from it, remove the bay leaf, push it to a puree consistency. Add to the mashed potatoes 50 grams of butter and 130 ml of pre-heated hot milk. Pushing the pusher again.
   
10. Now add the fried onions, a little salt and 2 pinches of black pepper, mix until smooth. The filling for the cakes is ready. We cover the pan with the lid filling, remove to the side.
    
11. 20 minutes have passed, we return to the test. It had a good rest, now we roll it into a sausage and divide it into 16 equal parts.
    
12. We roll each part into a ball. Lightly sprinkle flour on the working part of the table, roll each ball into a very thin cake.
    
13. We put a dry frying pan on the fire, put a tortilla on it and fry on both sides until slightly golden. If air bubbles appear in this case, you can easily pierce them with a fork so that air escapes.
    
14. In a microwave, melt 70 grams of butter, and grease each cake with butter with a kitchen brush. We spread the cakes on a plate, cover with a towel so that they do not dry out, but are soft.
    
15. When all the cakes are baked, go to the filling. We place the tortilla on a chopping board, put two tablespoons of potato still warm filling on one half of it, spread it with a spoon, cover with the other half and press down a little with the palm. And the first kystyby is already ready.
    
16. Do the same with all the other cakes.We spread them on a flat dish - delicious Tatar kystyby cakes can be served to the table both in warm and in cold form.
