gumóját

Gumóját is a traditional Hungarian dish, originating from the northern regions of the country, particularly in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén and Heves counties. The name "gumóját" translates to "potato top," referring to the specific part of the potato used in the dish. The potato top is the edible portion of the potato that is typically discarded, including the green sprouts and the white, edible part of the stem.

The preparation of gumóját involves boiling the potato tops until they become tender. They are then typically served with a side of sour cream or a creamy sauce, often accompanied by a piece of bread. The dish is known for its mild flavor and is often enjoyed as a simple, comforting meal.

Gumóját is a popular dish in Hungarian cuisine, particularly during the colder months when the potato tops are more readily available. It is a simple yet satisfying dish that highlights the versatility of the potato plant. The dish is often served as a side dish or as a light meal, and it is a staple in many Hungarian households.
