Greater Poland potato pancakes made from grated raw potato bound with egg and flour, fried in lard and served with mushroom sauce, soured cream or apple sauce.
Plendze are the Greater Poland answer to the eastern placki ziemniaczane; the dialect word reflects the German-influenced Prussian-partition vocabulary that survived in Poznań kitchens. The dish is plainer than the eastern versions, focused on the texture of the grated potato, with mushroom sauce as the canonical accompaniment. Every regional Wielkopolska room in the city lists plendze alongside pyry z gzikiem as the two everyday plates.
