Pohorski žganci

Pohorski žganci or olbič is a traditional dish originating from the Pohorje region. The dish is usually made with a combination of potatoes, corn flour, salt, and ocvirki (a type of pork crackling). The potatoes are peeled, sliced, and cooked in boiling salted water with the corn flour. The ingredients are then coarsely mashed into a type of peasant porridge and topped with the ocvirki. Pohorski žganci are typically served as an accompaniment to meat or vegetable sauces. The dish can also be enjoyed on its own as a hearty meal – all that's needed is to pour local cow's milk or coffee with milk over the žganci. It's recommended to serve the dish in an earthenware bowl.
