Baked pies with potatoes and dill are a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, embodying the coziness of home and the warmth of family evenings. The airy dough made with milk and butter serves as the perfect shell for the tender potato filling, complemented by fresh dill and fried onions. This duo gives the pies not only a rich flavor but also an appetizing, slightly sweet aroma. The pies are baked to a golden crust and finished with melted butter for softness and juiciness. They can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to soups and tea. These pies are not just food but a piece of Russian history that reminds us of hospitality traditions and the comfort of home cooking.
