  • About

The word babka refers not only to rich cake-like breads but also to various puffy, egg-type dishes such as this one. Make sure you use a good quality whole milk cottage cheese and hot mashed potatoes and this recipe will surely not disappoint. Using Yukon gold potatoes yields a rich, golden result.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups hot mashed potatoes
  • 2 extra-large eggs, separated
  • ½ cup

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter.

Put the mashed potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Beat in the egg yolks. Add the milk, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Beat vigorously until light.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites
