This is a very yummy Russian-style dinner.  The meat patties are authentic Russian recipe called “kotlety”.  Kotlety is the meat patties made with ground meat mixed with minced onion and bread crumbs, then pan-fried.  The most popular side dish for Russian kotlety is the mashed potatoes, and that’s what’s on the plate :)  I have Russian meat patties served with mashed potatoes, and on the other plate are simple cucumbers cut into spears.  The sliced veggies are also a very popular way to serve side vegetables in Russia.
