Manti with beef and potatoes is a traditional dish of Tatar cuisine that embodies the spirit of home comfort and generous feasting. Its roots go deep into history when steamed meat dishes became an integral part of nomadic life. The tender dough envelops a juicy filling of minced beef, potatoes, and aromatic onions, creating a rich, harmonious flavor. Manti is served hot, often with melted butter or sour cream to enhance their richness. A feature of this dish is its versatility – it suits both family dinners and festive gatherings. Prepared in a manti steamer or a steamer, they retain their juiciness and reveal the full bouquet of aromas. A true delight for lovers of Eastern cuisine!

Next, we take the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, also finely chopping the onion to release its juice. We grind the fat in a meat grinder. We mix all this with the minced meat and add salt and pepper to taste.

We take out our dough, roll it into a large thin circle, and then cut out circles (using a food container, you can use something else). The size is about that of a tea saucer.
