What is a casserole? Hearing the name of this recipe immediately presents itself as a sweet dish made from chopped foods mixed and baked in the oven. However, casseroles are different. For example, they are cooked with spaghetti, rice, zucchini, potatoes. We will prepare the last one today. Potato casseroles with minced meat are very easy to prepare. If the dish will be consumed by adults, then the minced meat can be pre-fried in a pan with spices. For a children's table, use chicken meat as minced meat, which you immediately send to bake in the oven. It is important that any filling is juicy, but it should not be wet, otherwise the bottom layer of the potato will soften, which will make it difficult to chop.
When it comes to potatoes, there are also several uses. You can boil the tubers and heat until puree, or use raw shavings or thin slices. Choose a large and deep form for cooking. This can be ceramics, thermal glass, or a cast iron pan. If such dishes are not available, then you can use a regular baking sheet that comes with the oven.
