I came across this recipe on Pinterest about a year ago and ever since, it has been my favorite. Not only are potatoes are a key ingredient in many meals, but as most of you probably know, potatoes are the most common food source in Ukraine, where I’m originally from.

I like to make these when I am hosting a dinner. I would precook the potatoes in boiled water and right before guest arrive, pop them in the oven and have our selves a fresh dinner. It’s also a great meal to make during the work days. Boil enough potatoes to last several days; when you are ready to serve, just bake them.

My favorite – potatoes with homemade pickles.
