In the small towns of Northeastern Minnesota, holidays mean Potica ("po-teet-sah").

Potica is known to those of Slovenian ancestry, as well as to anyone who grew up on Minnesota's Iron Range.

An old world Italian pastry, Potica is made from a dough rolled so thin and wide that a newspaper can be read through it. Then layered with walnuts, butter, cream and vanilla, is rolled into a spiral and baked to a crisp amber brown. Serve it with any meal or for a snack. Potica is delicious plain, by itself, heated or unheated. But you can enjoy it many different ways.

Serve with:
   -Ham - Bacon and eggs - Sausage - Fruit

Top with:
   -Ice cream or vanilla pudding
   -Lemon, chocolate or caramel sauce
   -Whipped cream and strawberries

Additional serving suggestions would include:
   -Top with a slice of ham, and heat if desired.
      (A traditional way of serving)
   -Top with a slice of cheese and heat until cheese is melted.
   -Spread with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon,
      top with a teaspoon of honey, then heat until warm.
   -Spread with butter, microwave for approximately 10 seconds, then top with one scoop of butter brickle ice cream.
