Why Russians Eat Potato for Dessert?

Gastronomy Marusya

The word “potato” in Russian can mean both a vegetable and a type of cake. To be fair, the pastry does look like potato, hence the name. In Russian you call it "kartoshka". It’s neither fancy nor does it have a sophisticated flavour profile but many Russian people very fond of it because of the childhood memories it brings back.
To be honest is nothing more than cookie crumbs mixed with condensed milk and butter. That simple and unpretentious but, nevertheless, delicious.
Somebody think that "kartoshka" is similar to brownie cake. So, to decide, please, come to us and try one of the most popular Russian homemade dessert.

2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
