Madison Vilnius Sister Cities community met on a cold and snowy Sunday afternoon to peel 30 pounds of potatoes and bake Kugelis. This was our time together and a way to celebrate Lithuania’s birthday (Independence restoration). Photos below show how much fun we had at the Aubergine kitchen on the Willy St.

Our members are very fast potato peelers. Two families bought the potato grating machines that some call “kugelatorius.” Plenty of bacon was provided. Kugelis didn’t burn and was not too salty.

Food related events are becoming a new tradition and we are now more comfortable in the commercial kitchen, especially with the commercial dish washer. I have a feeling we will back with another dish.
