Lamb and Potato Casserole

Lamb casserole with potatoes is a dish that combines the rich flavor of tender lamb and the softness of mashed potatoes. Historically, such casseroles were popular in Russian cuisine due to their simplicity and heartiness. The baked crust gives the dish an appetizing aroma, while added spices and tomato sauce enhance the depth of the meat's flavor. A small amount of parsley greens refreshes and adds lightness to this traditional rustic dish. It is perfect for a family dinner, especially in cold weather, warming and satisfying at the same time.
