Lenten Potato Pies
Description
The baking is simple and quick. Lent for our family is a time when we fry lenten pies very often. Our favorites are lenten potato pies. They are very easy to make, and as for being budget-friendly—there is nothing more to say: you cannot think of cheaper pies. Still, well-made lenten potato pies in our family disappear faster than any expensive delicacies. What is interesting: no matter how many pies we fry at once, they never last longer than two hours :) We eat them all right away—they are that delicious. So here it is: the baking is ready. Serve at the table.
