Potatoe bake (Babka ziemniaczana)
Potato bake is a very simple dish of Belarusian origin. In Poland it is usually served in eastern regions such as Podlasie. We had the opportunity to taste this specialty during our trip to Bialowieza. It can be served with sour cream or any kind of sauce you like. It tastes good both hot and cold, but also fried the next day in a frying pan.
Bacon and 1 onion cut into small cubes and fry on a frying pan for a few minutes. Set aside to cool down.
Peel the potatoes and the second onion and grate them on a fine grater.
If a lot of water has collected, drain some, but not all.
Add eggs, flour, spices and cooled bacon and mix everything well.
Line a baking pan with baking paper or grease with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs to prevent from sticking to the sides.
Pour the potato mixture into the baking pan. Place in the oven at 200°C for about an hour.
60 Minutes
Babka is ready when it turns brown.
