Potato and bran cutlets are a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for those who value healthy eating. Its origins are linked to traditional village cooking, where simple and accessible ingredients were used. The tender potato base enriched with milk and egg gives the cutlets softness and airiness, while the bran adds a light crispy crust. These cutlets have a pleasant creamy taste with subtle grainy notes from the bran, creating an interesting contrast of textures. They pair perfectly with sour cream or a light vegetable salad. Cutlets can be served as a standalone dish or as a side, and their nutritional value makes them an excellent option for a balanced diet.
