About Piroshki with Potatoes
Thessaloniki City of Gastronomy associates these piroshki with the Greeks of Pontos and Asia Minor and with recipes passed down through mothers and grandmothers. Its potato rendition encloses a savoury vegetable filling in a soft yeast dough.
Mashed boiled potatoes are joined by onion, spring onion, parsley, oregano and black pepper. Olive oil carries the filling, while sugar and vinegar are included in the dough alongside yeast and water.
The filled pieces are shaped as small elongated buns with their ends closed. They are fried and served warm, with the potato filling contained inside the dough.
