"I once had such a story, thanks to which potatoes with meatballs and mushrooms cream sauce, cooked in the oven forever remembered. At that time my husband and I were not yet married, but we already lived together, and his parents had been divorced for a long time and my father came quite rarely. And so, it means that I never saw his father in the eyes, and one fine day my husband calls me from work and says "My father arrived in Kharkov, in an hour he will be with us. I also leave work, you cook something quickly on the table."

At first I was confused, there was not enough time. Yes, and after all, my father-in-law has never seen the future, because I want not to lose face, to prove myself from the best side, as a hospitable hostess. I thought, what would be so wonderful to cook, so that it would be absolutely stunning. I read the recipe book. And then I remembered that I only had an hour. Rather, and that is no longer there, while I leafed through the book, time passed.

In general, I decided, they say, the richer they are, the more they are happy, you can warn, in the end, and decided to cook boiled potatoes, and make meatballs in mushroom sauce for it. Just the right ingredients were at hand.

I put the potatoes to boil, took up the meatballs, it’s elementary to cook them - mix a pound of minced meat with one egg, pepper, salt, give the shape of meatballs and fry over high heat until golden brown.

For mushroom sauce finely chop one onion and peeled champignons (300 g), fry, salt, then add a little flour to the pan, mix and pour in the milk in a thin stream until the sauce thickens. Such a kind of Bechamel.

When I did all this, put the meatballs in a baking dish and poured sauce on top, the potatoes were already boiling. I planned that boiled potatoes I’ll put it on a large baking sheet, put the meatballs on top, sprinkle with grated cheese and herbs, and there will be an overeating. And fast, too.

And then the doorbell rings. I, realizing that it was unlikely that my husband managed to get there so quickly, open the door and along the way get acquainted with the future father-in-law. The husband was still on his way. At first, the situation bothered me a little - not only did I not warn you in advance, but I still couldn’t, perhaps, meet my husband at the metro and come together?

However, the father-in-law turned out to be a talker. I thought it was hard to talk to me. But no, he outdid me! He suggested that while the food is being prepared, go to the balcony to smoke, talk about this and that. And he chatted me so much with his stories that we had already left the balcony when my husband entered the apartment, and his first question was "Why does it stink so much ??". I hit myself on the forehead: "Potato!!!" and run to the kitchen, headlong.

That's all... A black pan with dried potatoes on the bottom, a black dish with meatballs in the oven. Then I felt so awkward and was ready to fall through the ground, and my father-in-law, laughing, said, “Well, your wife cooks well, you can immediately see, the hostess” :)) Since then, at joint holidays, we constantly remember that extravaganza of the smell and look of black dishes: ) And then we successfully got by with a cake that my father-in-law brought with him. I didn't forget about the food on the stove anymore."

A characteristic culinary feature of meatballs with mushrooms is their serving. Very often they are served with a thick gravy or sauce. Sometimes the sauce is prepared separately, but more often they use a sauce in which they stewed meatballs with mushrooms.

We decided to experiment in the kitchen and used not only the usual rice, but also mushrooms as a culinary supplement. Mushrooms were pre-fried, fearing that they simply would not have time to cook during the stew.
