Potato Casserole Kugelis
Main Dishes • Lithuanian
Description
The foundation of Lithuanian cuisine is potatoes and bacon, and one of the dishes made from them is kugelis. Kugelis is enjoyed both with sour cream, which pairs well with potatoes, and with apple sauce or cranberry jam, which complement the bacon nicely. It is very simple to prepare—just mix all the ingredients together—but it will take time and some company to peel and grate two kilograms of potatoes.
Ingredients
- Bacon 15 oz
- Onion 10 oz
- Potato 5 lbs
- Chicken Egg 6 pieces
- Condensed Milk 1 can
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
