Hey guys! Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel! I'm so excited because you've been requesting this video for quite a while on my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and by the way don't forget to follow me on there as well. We can be friends everywhere! Today I'll show you how to make Zeppelini in Russian цепелили and basically what it means it's like meat stuffed together and wrapped in a potato and then boiled served with crispy bacon and onions and sour cream Now it's so good, it's so delicious, it's a bit time-consuming but it's so worth it and I hope you enjoy this video guys, now let's get started. We're going to need a lot of potatoes, onions, egg, salt and pepper, garlic, fresh herbs such as parsley and dill, you can use any other herbs, sour cream, minced pork, you can also use beef and some pancetta or bacon. The first thing we're going to do is peel our potatoes, add about 4 to 5 potatoes into a pan we're going to boil them. Add the rest of the potatoes into a deeper dish with cold water and onions. Add meat into your bowl. Add your onion and garlic, egg, salt and pepper and some greens. Give it all a really good mix. Form small meatballs from your mixture that are going to go inside the zeppelini. Put your raw potatoes in a food processor and blend until nice and smooth. You should have a large pot of potatoes like that we're gonna squeeze all the water out of it you need to make sure you squeeze all the juice out of your potato it needs to be completely dry and keep the juice for later once your potatoes are cooked you need to mash them up add salt and pepper you should have two big bowls of raw and cooked potato and we're going to mix them together take a big handful of your potato, flatten it out and place one meatball inside and then fold it in and gently wrap around and form a nice big zeppolini. In a small bowl add your potato juice and then the very bottom you can see there is our starch so we're gonna add about one tablespoon. Into your hot pot of water add salt and potato starch with juice. Cook them for about five to eight minutes on a very low heat. I've had few and they're so filling and so delicious and I'm going to be making them with other fillings so don't forget to check my channel out in the next few weeks give me a big thumbs up don't forget to leave your comments down below if you want me to make anything else leave your requests and I'll see you in the next episode bye
