Note

This is my grandmother's recipe, with whom we spent the whole summer in a village in Lithuania. I don't know where she got this recipe from, and now there is no one to ask. Although it seems to me that my grandmother invented it herself, because when guests came, everyone asked to cook her famous "Golden Porridge". In the summer, it was cooked over the fire in a cast iron, in the cold season on a wood stove, but also in a cast iron. The grandmother made the frying from her own cooked dry-cured meat, which she called the strange word "kumpyak". It was only later that I realized that this was the name of dry-cured pork. As, however, the very name "golden porridge" I learned much later than I started eating it.
Once, when I was little, my grandparents occupied half of the house, but with a separate entrance. And the other half of the house belonged to a peat-mining office. And the bosses and tractor drivers from the peat area always gathered there. Granny often prepared dinner for them, they dined on peat. field, but after work it took a long time to get to the city from the village, so grandmother felt sorry for them and fed them. And so, one day, she asked me to go to the other half of the house and ask what to cook for dinner. I went to ask, and they tell me, "Golden porridge". I come to my grandmother and say, "They ask for some kind of golden porridge, and what kind of porridge is this?" And grandmother says, this is your favorite! "
And since childhood, I had one favorite porridge-semolina, others I did not recognize. I say, "Aaa, semolina! But what kind of golden is it?" And grandmother says, "No, not semolina, but potato, with cracklings and onions." meat! "
That's how I found out that under the guise of mashed potatoes we always ate "Golden Potato Porridge", which fully justifies its name!

I also make such mashed potatoes. In our family, by my decision, we never eat side dishes, so this is a separate dish. It's delicious, really!
Kumpyak (and right toatmpis) - it means just a ham, not necessarily raw. Mashed potatoes in Lithuania are called "potato porridge" (batlion toaboutshe), where porridge is a designation of the appearance of something. However, such potatoes are also cooked in the Kuban. I'll do it tomorrow! Thank you, galchonokthat were reminded!
