Potato pies became very popular in the Soviet Union. Every grandmother baked them. They were also sold by grandmothers at train stations and parks. As a rule, potatoes for baking were natural. If you were lucky, the milk and eggs in the pies were homemade
. The price of pies was small, which generated an even greater flow of customers. Modern pies do not compare with those that were cooked in the past. Probably, in addition to natural products, cooking utensils also played a big role. Pies at grandmothers were from the oven, and now from the oven.
