Potato 'Harmoshka' with sour cream sauce is a fragrant and hearty dish from Russian cuisine, where potatoes have long been considered one of the main ingredients. The special cutting method allows the potato to open up like an accordion, letting the fat from smoked bacon penetrate inside, making it tender and rich. The sauce made of sour cream, onions, and herbs gives the dish a creamy texture and zest. This dish is perfect for a cozy home dinner, creating an atmosphere of warmth and care, especially on cool days. It is easy to prepare and has a memorable taste with a crispy crust and soft center complemented by aromatic notes of garlic and herbs.
