A meat filled potato dumpling. The potatoes are made into a dough using juiced potatoes, the starch from that juice, and boiled potatoes. In this case the potatoes have gone black from oxidation known as After Cooking Darkening. It doesn't affect the flavour just the appearance. I would normally use potato whitener to prevent this but didn't have any at hand.

My potatoes went black from, #ACD, but the flavour was fantastic!
A beautiful meat-filled potato dumpling full of seasoned, ground pork, and topped with bacon, onions, and sour cream.
This month, I ate #Lithuania and made #cepelinai it was delicious!
Next month I'm eating "G"! I will #EatTheWorld

Potatoes boiling to add to my potato dough! It's 60% juiced potatoes, 40% boiled potatoes, and the starch from the juiced potatoes for the dough.

I have begun making #Cepelinai! I have set myself a challenge to #EatTheWorld, and this month I chose "L".
I'm making the National Dish of #Lithuania, cepelinai!
@karafagan.bsky.social, gave me "G" for next month, I can't wait to see what and where I eat next! 🍽️🍜

When I took on my #EatTheWorld challenge I hadn't expected that my choice of #Cepelinai from #Lithuania would include grating and juicing potatoes as it's done traditionally for #Acadians making #Rappie!
I'm even more excited to try making and eating this! It's on the menu this weekend.

Now that I can see #Fall on the horizon, I can feel the #Kitchen calling.
Planning on meeting my #EatTheWorld commitment with some #Cepelinai, I see you #Lithuania!
I'm going to make a #Lobster bisque, from scratch, something I've never even eaten before. (Continued) 🍽️🍜

I set myself a #CookingChallenge. A random letter from the alphabet, a country that starts with that letter, and then I try to make the #NationalDish of that country.
For #September I have the letter "L", my country is #Lithuania, I'm going to try to make #Cepelinai.
What's your letter/country? 🍽️🍜

Two Cepelinai on a plate with bacon and sour cream. I've cut one open so you can see the meat inside.

Two whole Cepelinai.

Lithuania's national dish: Cepelinai.

These large (usually boiled, sometimes fried) potato dumplings are stuffed with meat or cheese. They're usually served with bacon (or mushrooms) and sour cream.

First thing first… A good welcome meal. #Vilnius #cepelinai

When your favorite Lithuanian restaurant closes in the city and then you realize it moved out in the burbs closer by you! 🥰😍🥰
