Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Peel, wash the potatoes, cut into medium-sized pieces and place in a deep bowl. I cut each into 4 parts — it depends on the size of the tubers. There is no need to cut too finely so that the finished potatoes do not turn into mashed potatoes. It should come out intact and not lose its shape. Leave the peeled and washed potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes. Then we drain the water.

Step 2

Step 2
We take juicy and large carrots; if you have smaller carrots, then take two. Peel it and cut it into thin circles, cut each circle into 4 parts. Chopped carrots taste better than just grated carrots.

Step 3

Step 3
Add carrots to the bowl with potatoes. Add salt, ground black pepper, nutmeg and mix everything well with your hands.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour the potatoes and carrots into the multicooker bowl, add the bay leaf.

Step 5

Step 5
In a deep bowl, whisk together sour cream and water. It is better to use sour cream with good fat content and high quality so that it does not curdle when heated. Fat sour cream will improve the taste of the dish. I used 20% fat sour cream.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour the sour cream mixture into the multicooker bowl and place a piece of butter on top. Turn on the multicooker to the “quenching” mode. On my ROTEX multicooker with a power of 700 W, the default time is 1 hour. Close the lid and wait for the process to begin.

Step 7

Step 7
During cooking, stir the potatoes several times with a wooden spoon. During this time, the liquid will evaporate a little. If you want the potatoes to be more liquid, then after an hour you can turn off the multicooker, you can also add 20 minutes of time on the same mode so that there is less gravy. In any case, the potatoes turn out juicy and have a rich, creamy taste. You can serve potatoes with fresh herbs — dill or parsley.
