Shangi are northern open pies. They are prepared in Karelia, the Middle Urals, and the Komi Republic. They are maximally open: the filling is placed on a base of unleavened dough, nothing needs to be pinched, and the design also does not include sides . Mashed potatoes are probably the best filling for shangi - since the filling is placed on top of the base, it should be thick and dense enough so as not to spread during cooking. After baking, shangi are well greased with melted butter or sour cream, and can be eaten with sour milk, and with shchi, and just like that, with tea.
