25 minutes

The 'Potato' pastry is a classic dessert of Russian cuisine that emerged during the Soviet era as a way to economically use cookies. The sweet, dense yet tender texture of this treat combines with the deep flavor of chocolate, a nutty hint of walnuts, and the warm aroma of cinnamon. It pairs perfectly with both tea and coffee, providing comfort and enjoyment. It's easy to prepare: crushed cookies are mixed with melted chocolate and butter, while condensed milk adds sweetness and softness. After cooling, the pastry achieves the desired structure and becomes remarkably harmonious. This dessert evokes pleasant nostalgia, and its versatility makes it an excellent choice for home tea gatherings or entertaining guests.
