A typical recipe from Rodopi Mountain, in other countries in Europe toy can find similar recipes, like Rosti in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The main difference is in spices in our Bulgarian recipe we use savory. The main difficulty is when you should turn around because the dish is prepared on a frying pan.

It is prepared from coarsely grated potatoes, onions, salt, and garlic. All this is mixed and baked on a slow fire. Meat, cheese or egg can be added. Some put savory and sprigs.

From my experience, it’s important to boil potatoes before putting them in the frying pan, because there is a chance to keep the potatoes raw.
