Baked Potato Babka

A great choice for a hearty homemade dinner from simple ingredients! Almost everyone knows draniki (potato pancakes) from Belarusian cuisine, but I'd guess not many people have made babka — a baked grated-potato casserole. That needs fixing right away, because in my opinion it's far easier to make than draniki. And the flavor is really, really interesting. Give it a try!
