Potato dessert for the Year of the Rat
Description
In the classic recipe, Potato dessert includes cognac or an aromatic tincture, which is a very good addition that gives it a special flavor. However, since I'm making this dessert for children, I omit this ingredient. You can add any nuts or seeds of your choice to the dessert. Adjust the decoration as desired.
