Bulvių blynai · Vilnius
Bulvių blynai are Lithuanian potato pancakes: grated potato, egg and onion fried crisp, served with sour cream and mushroom sauce or bacon-cracklings spirgučiai.
Potato pancakes are common across the Baltic and Eastern Europe, with each tradition holding small differences. The Lithuanian version is thicker than the Polish placki and crisper than the German Reibekuchen. Senoji Trobelė and Gusto Blynine cook the canonical Vilnius versions, and the Žemaičių blynai variant (Samogitian, mashed-potato-based) is a heartier alternative.
