Žemaičių blynai · Vilnius
Žemaičių blynai are Samogitian potato pancakes: thicker and made from mashed potato (rather than grated) wrapped around meat or curd-cheese filling, then pan-fried.
Žemaičių blynai come from Samogitia (Žemaitija), the northern Lithuanian region. Where bulvių blynai are crisp grated-potato pancakes, žemaičių blynai are mashed-potato dumplings filled with meat or curd cheese and fried in a pan. Senoji Trobelė and Etno Dvaras both run them on the heritage menus. A Hill of Crosses (Šiauliai) day-trip pairs well with Samogitian-cuisine cafes for this dish.
