The 'Potato' pastry with walnuts is a nostalgic dessert from Russian cuisine, originating from times when housewives skillfully turned simple ingredients into sweet masterpieces. The tender, soft dough made from crushed shortbread cookies and condensed milk is infused with a rich chocolate aroma of cocoa, while crunchy pieces of walnuts add a special texture. The shape of the pastries resembles real potatoes, and the nuts embedded in the dough give them a fun appearance. This dessert requires no baking and is perfect for cozy family tea gatherings. After cooling, it becomes even tastier, and its rich, creamy flavor with hints of nuts and chocolate makes you come back for more.
