Potato babka is one of the dishes of Belarusian cuisine that can be prepared with anything – ham, mushrooms, or nothing at all.

But the classic recipe is babka with cracklings.

It will be required

  • potatoes - 1 kg;
  • pork (brisket) - 200 gr;
  • onion - 1 pc.;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • milk - 1 glass;
  • salt - 1 tsp.

How to cook

1. First of all, prepare the "cracklings". To do this, cut the pork into medium pieces and fry in a frying pan.

2. When the lard has released a lot of fat, add diced onion and fry over medium heat so that the lard does not fry and the onion does not burn.

3. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add milk, grate the peeled potatoes on a fine grater and add to the egg-milk mixture along with salt.
