Meat Boats

Finely dice the onion, sauté in vegetable oil until golden, and mix it into the minced meat—season with salt and pepper.

Form the boats by folding the edges of a parchment sheet and twisting the ends. Alternatively, you can accordion-fold the sheet, tie the ends with jute twine, and open it up to create a boat shape as well.

Place the meat patty into the boat, use your fingers or a spoon to make an indentation, and brush the base with sour cream. Top with diced pickles and grated potatoes, then cover everything with a cap made from a mixture of grated cheese, an egg, and a spoonful of mayonnaise.
