Savoury Belarusian and Polish dish made from potato

About this dish

Potato babka is a savoury baked potato dish, popular especially in Belarus and northeastern Poland, where it is known as babka ziemniaczana. It is considered the most famous dish of the Polish region of Podlachia. It is made from grated potatoes, eggs, onions, and pieces of smoked, boiled or fried bacon and (especially in Poland) 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 purported world's largest potato babka, 2 metres (6+1⁄2 ft) in diameter, was baked in the village of Sula, Belarus.
