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 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. U slast! (Enjoy!) To those who have moved away, the holidays and special occasions still require Potica.
