Ingredients

• 1 kilogram uncooked potatoes
• 3 or 4 boiled potatoes
• Ground beef, milk curd, or mushrooms

Directions

• Peel and grate the raw potatoes. Then squeeze out the excess liquid from them through cheesecloth. Let the starch settle to the bottom of the liquid and then pour the liquid off and add the starch back to the potatoes.
• Peel and mash the boiled potatoes. Add them to the grated ones. Add a dash of salt and knead the mixture well. Then take egg-sized pieces of this mixture and form into patties.
• For the filling: most often such a filling is made from ground beef, milk curd, or mushrooms with salt and spices.
• Place spoonfuls of the previously prepared filling into the center of the patties.
• Close the patties around the filling and form them into oval shapes.
• Then place the cepelinai in salted boiling water and cook for approximately 30 minutes.
