Krompiruša

This variety of traditional Bosnian pastry (pita) employs potatoes as the star ingredient. The pastry is prepared with thin sheets of phyllo dough, known as jufke, and a filling that combines diced potatoes, seasonings, and (optionally) grated onions. The rolled dough is shaped into a coil, and the whole pastry is occasionally coated with sour cream or sprinkled with water, oil, or milk. Krumpiruša is traditionally shaped into a large, round pie-like pastry, and it is best served freshly prepared with yogurt, sour cream, or sour milk on the side.
