The potatoes are served as a crushed, whole half of a tuber, topped with slices of roast beef, melting cheddar, sour cream sauce, and fried onions. Such serving looks original and neat and will turn your usual dinner into a special one. To roast whole potatoes faster, use the microwave, then cut the tubers in half-half for each serving – and fry them in a skillet, lightly pressing down with a spatula, until golden crisp. The collected portions of potatoes with roast beef and cheese are grilled to melt the cheese and served with pickled cucumbers.

  4. Heat 1.5 tablespoons in a skillet. l. olive oil and place 2 potato halves, cut side down. Press down firmly with a spatula to flatten them. Fry, turning once, until crispy, 4-5 minutes. Transfer the slices up onto a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 1.5 tablespoon. olive oil and 2 halves of potatoes.
