Lithuanian zeppelins are one of the most popular dishes of Lithuanian cuisine. They are potato dumplings stuffed with minced meat and formed into an oblong shape. To make them, grated and boiled potatoes are mixed with potato flour and formed into balls. Filling is made from minced meat, onion, salt and pepper. The potato balls are flattened, stuffed, and shaped into zeppelins which are boiled for 20-25 minutes before serving. Traditionally they are served poured with cream.

• We prepare zeppelins from two types of
potatoes: cooked and raw. Peel all potatoes.
Boil some potatoes, grate the rest. I
recommend the electric grater,
unfortunately I did it by hand. Drain the
juice from the grated potatoes and pour it
out. We add 1 tablespoon of potato flour.
Now we knead the boiled and grated
potatoes together.

Stuffing
Chop the onion and fry it in a pan. Then
add it to the minced meat. Season with salt
and pepper to taste. Form small balls the
size of a walnut.
Form Zeppelins Shape hand-sized balls
from the potato mass and then flatten
them. Make a recess in the middle where
we put the stuffing ball. Glue the dough
together and form the oblong shape of
your zeppelin with your hands.
