Boiled fish cutlets with potatoes are a tender and juicy dish of Russian cuisine that originates from the traditions of simple yet exquisite home recipes. The base is boiled fish, which is complemented by grated potatoes and aromatic herbs for softness and an airy texture. Light notes of onion and spices enrich the flavor, making the cutlets appetizing and rich. Their golden crust obtained during frying provides a pleasant contrast to the tender interior. These cutlets are perfect for a daily lunch or dinner, especially with a side of fresh vegetables or a light sauce. The simplicity of preparation and availability of ingredients make this dish indispensable for fish lovers. They can be served as a standalone dish or combined with classic Russian side dishes like mashed potatoes or buckwheat porridge.
