Pealtpoolt

Pealtpoolt is a traditional Estonian dish that is often served as a side dish or a main course. The name "pealtpoolt" translates to "from above" in English, referring to the way the dish is prepared by layering ingredients on top of each other. The dish typically consists of a base of potatoes, which are boiled and then mashed or sliced. This base is then topped with a variety of other ingredients, such as smoked salmon, boiled eggs, pickled herring, and sometimes even a layer of sour cream or mayonnaise. The layers are carefully arranged to create a visually appealing and flavorful dish. Pealtpoolt is often served with a side of rye bread or a salad, and it is a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. The dish is a staple in Estonian cuisine and is enjoyed for its hearty and comforting flavors.
