Orrüreggel

Orrüreggel is a traditional Hungarian dish, often described as a type of savory pancake or fritter. The name itself is derived from the Hungarian words "orr" meaning nose and "reggel" meaning morning, hinting at its common association with breakfast. However, it is enjoyed at any time of day.

The primary ingredients for orrüreggel typically include grated potatoes, flour, eggs, and often onion. These are mixed together to form a batter, which is then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. Variations exist, with some recipes incorporating minced meat, herbs, or cheese into the mixture. The texture is usually characterized by a slightly crispy exterior and a tender interior.

Orrüreggel is commonly served as a side dish or a main course, often accompanied by sour cream, yogurt, or a simple salad. It can also be found as a street food or served in homes across Hungary. Its simple yet hearty nature makes it a comforting and popular element of Hungarian cuisine. The preparation is relatively straightforward, making it accessible for home cooks.
