Cepelinai

Cepelinai or didžkukuliai are potato dumplings made from grated and riced potatoes and stuffed with ground meat, dry curd cheese or mushrooms. It has been described as a national dish of Lithuania, and is typically served as a main dish. The name of cepelinai comes from their shape that resembles of a Zeppelin airship. Cepelinai are typically around 10–20 cm long, although the size depends on where they are made: in the western counties of Lithuania, cepelinai are made bigger than in the east.[citation needed] In Samogitia, cepelinai are called cepelinā. After boiling, the cepelinai are often served with sour cream sauce and bacon bits or pork rinds.
