The taste of the dessert is rich and creamy-chocolatey, while its aroma evokes memories of childhood and cozy family tea times. 'Potato' is an ideal treat for family celebrations and a wonderful addition to a cup of aromatic coffee. The simplicity of preparation makes this dessert accessible even for those without experience in pastry arts.
