Kartoshka

description Kartoshka Overview

Kartoshka, meaning potato in Russian, is a no-bake confection shaped to resemble a small potato. It is commonly prepared from crushed biscuits or cake crumbs mixed with cocoa and binding ingredients such as butter, condensed milk, or cream, then coated with cocoa powder. The sweet became widely familiar through Soviet-era confectionery and home cooking. Recipes vary, and some versions add nuts, flavoring, or small decorations representing potato sprouts.
