Popular from Scandinavia to Hungary, Switzerland to Russia, and an iconic part of the Jewish celebration of Chanukah, potato pancakes have been a staple in Eastern Europe since at least the 17th-century. In Poland, where they’re known as placki ziemniaczane, they’re often served topped with goulash or mushroom sauce — and that’s how Maria Rozynska loves them.

Maria will be making a classic Polish supper of freshly-made potato pancakes with slow-simmered beef goulash and rich mushroom gravy, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a side of beetroot salad.
$12 (tax-in)

Vegetarian Option: Pancakes with mushroom gravy, sour cream & beetroot salad

Dessert: Sharlotka, a traditional Russian apple cake, with tart, juicy apples tucked under light vanilla-hinted cake dusted with icing sugar
$4
