Kutelis tarke (potato pudding)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 larges White or russet potatoes
1 medium Yellow onion
5 slices Salt pork (1/4 to 1/3 inch thick)
2 tablespoons Farina
¼ teaspoon Pepper
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Scalded milk
1 tablespoon Butter
3 larges Eggs
Sour cream for topping

Directions

Here are four traditional Lithuanian recipes from my files. ( I run a small catering business specializing in ethnic foods.) Most of these are family recipes from Lithuanian friends. I think one is from an old church cookbook from a church that is predominantly Lithuanian.

Peel and grate potatoes and onion.

Mince salt pork and fry until crisp.

Pour crisp pork, along with fat, over potato-onion mix and add warm scalded milk and melted butter.

Beat eggs and add gradually to the potato-onion-pork mixture, stirring to combing thoroughly.

Mix in salt, pepper and farina. Pour into a greased/buttered cast iron skillet or casserole (depth of potato mix should be between 2 inches and 2½ inches) and place in 400 degree oven. After 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for another 45 minutes.

Cut into servings, place on plates and top with sour cream.
