Potato casserole

Meat Dishes | Russian

Potato casserole has been known in Russia since potatoes struck roots in Russian cuisine (it happened in the 18th century). This is an analogue of the Italian lasagna, or rather, the English pie. Formerly, such dishes were made in a Russian stove. Later, conventional ovens started to be used. Potato casserole is made of meat, fish, mushrooms and vegetables.
