About Bulviniai blynai

Ieva’s bulviniai blynai are Lithuanian potato pancakes made from finely grated raw potatoes and egg. This source presents them as a traditional main course, with sour cream selected as the accompaniment.

Potato supplies the central flavour, seasoned with salt. Optional onion adds an aromatic note, while sour cream contributes a dairy tang; a little lemon juice is another optional source suggestion.

The pancakes develop golden, crisp surfaces around softer potato centres. Potato starch is a conditional binder for less starchy potatoes, and the source describes keeping the pancakes warm until serving.
