Its so good in our country we called it “ziemniak” for me is better than pierogi
Potato is the most powerful vegetable in the world. You can eat, make it a flour, make vodka out of it, kill somebody with it etc.
i cant disagree
this is so true
Pyry z gzikiem is among the most cozy and heart-warming dishes for polish dinner
I still remember when I first moved to Poland and I made mashed potatoes for the first time. All my life I had thought that potatoes were bland and had no taste. I was so wrong! I don’t know why but potatoes in Poland taste so much better that anywhere else.
I have to admit that I am surprised at the lack of “labelled variety” in potatoes here in Bialystok. When we buy a sack it is mostly a guessing game of what variety they will be. And sometimes there are different varieties in the one sack.
Poles do tend to love a potato so it surprised me. Different varieties are good for different things.
In Japan we had the same problem but potatoes aren’t such a big part of the diet there. In Australia even boring supermarkets will have 4 or 5 varieties and good vege shops will have 10 – 20 different labelled varieties.
Not complaining, just surprised. I never really noticed before but we came back a couple years ago to help the Mother in law recuperate and I took over daily cooking and suddenly found this out.
The absolute lack of fresh herbs I will complain about til my dying day though, I’ve had to learn to garden! I went to a Pho place with a Vietnamese cook. I cried, the cook cried. ahahaha I am going to give a bunch of herbs for himself when these are ready to harvest.
Prosze nabogato.
Ziemniak!!!
Potato is the real GOAT amoung food. It’s only thing that let you live without eating anything else, it helped start industrial revolution, etc. There should be Potato monument in every city, town and village.
Actually YOUNG potatos are polish thing, in US you can buy what they call young potatoes but they are just old potatoes that are small. YOUNG potatos with onions, butter and fresh parsley are the best
Good tip, right now go to shop but some young potatoes, small ones. You dont need to peel them just wash dirt off of them and cook them in milk with some smashed garlic cloves. After milk is almost gone turn the heat get garlic out and throw in some wegeta and śmietana. Add some chopped dill some chives, mix.
Oh god how good are they.
