Potato babka
Potato babka is a savoury dish, popular especially in Belarus and Poland, where it is known as babka ziemniaczana. It is made from grated potatoes, eggs, onions, and pieces of smoked, boiled or fried bacon and sausage. It is oven-baked in a crock, and often served with a sauce of sour cream and pork flitch. Depending on recipe and cooking method it may be either a flaky potato pie, or a heavy potato pudding.
In 2016, the claimed world's largest potato babka, 2 meters in diameter, was baked in the village of Sula, Belarus.Similar dishes
