Re: [Cz-L] TOCZERL

I am very sorry for having cast doubts about the authenticity of Arthur's
 recipe for toczerl. I misunderstood his letter.
But... I am a Czernowitzer "Groiser Akshen" and I firmly believe that
Czernowitzer Toczerl, should have neither flour or grated onion in them.
Flour will make them heavy and grated onions will mask the taste of the
potatoes. One more thing; they should be fried golden brown, more gold than
brown, in pure sunflower oil. They should be crisp at the edges and well
done inside, therefore cook them on not too hot a flame.

Try it, you'll like it!

In Czernowitz we ate them with meat, with chicken, with sour cream, put into
chicken soup, put into Fleishigen Borsht, but NEVER with applesauce.
