In essence and content, the bits are the same, only round in shape. The difference is that after frying, the meatballs are stewed in some kind of sauce - sour cream, cream, mushroom, tomato, while the cutlets are simply fried. The meatballs are prepared from any minced meat - beef, pork, chicken, turkey and even rabbit.
Pork balls with mushroom sauce - quick, tasty and inexpensive recipes. An egg, a little white loaf, spices, onions are added to the minced meat, and champignons and low-fat sour cream are quite suitable for the sauce. According to the technology, the meatballs must be stewed in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, then they become plump, juicy, and tender. If you don’t have time, you can simply pour the sauce over the meatballs and leave them covered for 5-6 minutes. While you are setting the table, the meatballs will have time to soak in the sauce. Any side dish will suit them - porridge, pasta, you can make a vegetable salad or simply eat it with fresh bread, dipping it in a delicious sauce.
The process of making meatballs may seem labor-intensive and time-consuming. Actually this is not true. While the side dish is being prepared, you will have both the meatballs and the sauce ready for them.
What we need for cooking:

- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l.
For the sauce:
- Champignons – 150 gr;
- onion – 1 piece;
- sour cream – 100 gr;
- salt, pepper - to taste;
- flour – 1 tsp;
- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l;

How to cook with photos step by step
Grind pork of moderate fat content in a meat grinder along with peeled onions. Add an egg to the minced meat with onions.
Place a slice of white loaf in a bowl of cold water. As soon as the bread gets wet, squeeze it out of the liquid (not dry) and pass it through a meat grinder after the meat. Bread in recipes for cutlets and meatballs is not needed to save money. It retains the meat juice, preventing it from leaking out; the cutlets turn out tender and juicy. Then, as soon as they are made from meat, the cutlets will be dense and harsh. But everything is good in moderation; too much bread will make the cutlets loose and worsen the taste. Season the minced meat with salt, ground black pepper and ground paprika (or red pepper).
Mix all products. To make the minced meat viscous and homogeneous, you need to knead it with your hands, or even better, not just knead it, but beat it on the table or put it in a bowl. We scoop the minced meat into your palm and throw it back into the bowl (or onto the table). You need to beat the minced meat for 3-4 minutes until it sticks together and becomes a single viscous mass. If the minced meat turns out to be very dense and stiff, add 1-2 tbsp. l. cold water. Cover the bowl with the minced meat and set it aside for now - let the minced meat soak in the aromas of the spices.
Let's prepare everything for the sauce. Cut the champignons into small slices. Cut the onion into small cubes.
In well-heated oil, first lightly fry the onion. The edges have begun to turn golden – it’s time to add the champignons. Fry the mushrooms and onions for 2-3 minutes until the mushroom juice has evaporated.
Prepare the dressing for the sauce. Mix sour cream, ground black pepper and flour. Grind everything until smooth (make sure there are no lumps of flour).
Pour half a glass of cold water into the sour cream and flour. Stir. Pour into the pan with mushrooms and onions. Stir quickly and heat until almost boiling. Salt the sauce to taste.
As soon as the sauce starts to boil, remove it from the heat. When heated, the mushroom sauce will thicken; if it gets too thick, add a little water or sour cream. The sauce is ready, set it aside.
Let's return to the minced meat. Wet your hands under cold water. We make small round-shaped meatballs from the minced meat.
Heat 2 tbsp in a frying pan. l. oils Over medium heat, fry the meatballs first on one side for 3 minutes, then turn them over and fry for another 3-4 minutes. To steam the meatballs inside, you can cover the frying pan with a lid.
Now there are two ways to make the meatballs juicy and fluffy. The first is to transfer them to the mushroom sauce and simmer covered over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
The second is to heat the sauce, place the meatballs in it, pour the sauce over them on all sides and turn off the heat. After 5 minutes you can serve. Try both options and choose the one you like best.

Mushrooms and potatoes are just an incredibly tasty combination. These products complement each other perfectly. A huge number of first and second courses are prepared from them. In this case, potatoes can be boiled, baked, fried or crushed. Mushrooms can also be used both as the main ingredient for potato dishes and as an addition. This recipe will describe a method for preparing very tasty and aromatic potato cutlets with mushroom gravy.
About the dish
Making potato cutlets with mushroom gravy is very easy if you use the recipe below.
Potato cutlets turn out crispy, appetizing and, most importantly, they do not fall apart during frying. The secret of dense minced potato lies not in the addition of binding ingredients to the composition, but in the method of its preparation itself.
In order for the minced potato to be dense, it should be made from pre-boiled potatoes in their jackets. It is the boiled, unpeeled vegetable that contains the required amount of starch, which is the binding element that prevents the minced meat from falling apart during cooking.
Mushroom gravy is quite easy to prepare. Its composition is as simple as the cooking method and includes onions, mushrooms, flour and water. But even such a simple recipe does not affect the taste at all. It perfectly complements potato cutlets, making them even more aromatic and tasty.
For minced potatoes, vegetables must be washed and boiled in advance so that they have time to cool before cooking.
It is best to chop onions and mushrooms in a blender. This way the pieces will be uniform and small. But this is not necessary; the ingredients can be chopped with a knife.
Gravy for potato cutlets can be made from fresh or dried mushrooms. If dry mushrooms are used, they must first be soaked in water for several hours.
To make the finished gravy more tender, you can add a little milk along with the water during its preparation.
Breadcrumbs for coating cutlets should be yellow or orange in color without flavoring or aromatic additives.
If you don’t want to cook minced boiled potatoes in their jackets, you can make mashed potato cutlets with this mushroom gravy. It will turn out no less tasty. But the caveat is that you will need to add eggs and starch to the puree so that the cutlets do not fall apart during cooking.
