  2. You will also need roots: celery, parsley or parsnip root, carrots and onions. Cut everything into small cubes.
  3. Peel the potatoes and chop them finely. Another option is rice, but the more traditional ingredient is potatoes, so it’s up to you to decide which is better to take.
  4. Fry the roots in oil for about 6 minutes. And pepper to taste.
