Potato casserole with minced meat and tomatoes - useful tips and tricks
· You do not need to sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, otherwise they will flow very quickly, begin to secrete a lot of juice.
· Any casserole will turn out tastier under a layer of grated cheese, but it is important to add it at the right time. If you immediately fill up raw potatoes, then the crust will turn out to be dry, not very tasty, it may burn. Better to add 15 minutes before the end. You can also sprinkle immediately, but coat with mayonnaise or sour cream on top. Then the cheese will definitely not burn.
· It is advisable to sprinkle a crouton of grated boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes with crackers or flour, then a crispy and very pleasant crust will appear on the bottom and sides of the dish.
