    A plateful or Roasted potatoes

    Slovenian roasted potatoes are called prazen krompir.  These potatoes paired perfectly with the Stephanie roast.  They would make a wonderful side dish with just about anything.  They are hearty and scrumptious, perhaps it is the addition of pork fat and cracklings. 

    A plateful or Roasted potatoesPotatoes are a staple ingredient in Slovenian cuisine and are utilized in many capacities.  These Slovenian roasted potatoes are just one way they are loved.  I am pretty sure you will love this recipe.   The potatoes are first boiled to soften them and then cooked on the stove with onion, some pork fat  and then topped with pork cracklings and salt and pepper, yum!

    Slovenian cuisine is reflective of Mediterranean, Alpine and Eastern European cultures.  Every region in Slovenia has its own regional specialties, but most of their oldest traditional dishes are made using flour, buckwheat or barley as well as potatoes and cabbage. This recipe would be considered an old traditional recipe.

    Did you know that Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia on June 25th, 1991? If you would like to learn more about the country of Slovenia be sure to check out "Our Journey to Slovenia".  There you can also find more authentic Slovenian recipes like the Stephanie roast plus their famous dessert called potica.
