Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown. (30-40 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider browning the potatoes slightly before adding them to the meat mixture.
If chubritsa is unavailable, basil provides a good substitute, but marjoram or thyme can also be used for a slightly different flavor profile.
Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature before mixing with the egg to prevent curdling.
Adjust the amount of water as needed to maintain a saucy consistency during simmering.
To prevent sticking, grease the baking dish before adding the meat mixture.
