POTATO UNDER LEAF OR POTATO BABA

HARULA OR PLACERKA
(Potato pan cake)

In the old days they used to bake potato pancakes on the cabbage leaves in the wood burning stove, that is why they call it in Turiec podlistnik (under leaf). Today they bake it on well-greased pan and it tastes excellent. We grate raw pealed potatoes, add some flour so we get thicker dough. We add some salt, black pepper, and marjoram, fried onion, fried bacon with lard. We pour the dough to on a well-greased pan and bake it in the hot oven to golden color.
