Original snacks - the success of your holiday

Usually, when we invite people to a celebration, it is implied that we call relatives and friends behind the festive table to mark an event. Why on any holiday is the main thing - a treat?

Since ancient times it has become customary that guests are greeted with bread and salt, this tradition has been growing stronger every hundred years, and now we do not even know how to leave guests hungry. If in everyday life we can give our guests tea only with some simple snacks, then for the holiday it's just necessary to prepare original snacks and dishes. After all, a simple potato with a fish is no longer suitable for celebrations, and the guests are waiting for something special.

It is not necessary to prepare original snacks yourself, it is quite possible to entrust this work to real professionals - cooks of cafes, restaurants. They will prepare dishes with different flavor combinations, which at first glance, are not combined at all, but in reality - divine dishes. But if suddenly you like to cook and receive guests only at home, then you will not be able to prepare original snacks.

Original snack from potatoes with mushrooms

We need a few pieces of large potatoes, ten pieces of champignons, two small onions, about sixty milliliters of sunflower oil, curry, salt.

Potatoes must be thoroughly rinsed, then pour cold running water and cook on medium heat until cooked. Mushrooms need to be washed, peeled and peeled under the bonnet, boiled in salt water and scrolled through a meat grinder or finely chopped with a knife. Onions are peeled, peeled and fried together with mushrooms in a frying pan until the appearance of a beautiful grilled crust. We cool mushrooms with onions and boiled potatoes. Potatoes are cleaned, and cut into slices or slices, lightly fry in sunflower oil and spread on a dish. Top with the prepared potatoes sprinkle with curry seasoning. Then for each slice or a slice of a teaspoon we lay mushrooms with onions, decorate with a small circle of tomato and various greens, for example, basil or coriander.
