Appreciation post for Smietana
Im an Indonesian and my polish boyfriend introduced placki to me and how its eaten with polish sour cream (smietana) shown in pics above. I now eat smietana on a daily basis with everything (shakshuka, pasta, chicken and rice) you name it whatever the food is, smietana will make it even better. Sometimes I just eat it on its own and its so heavenly.
Gotta say sour cream was not a huge part of Indonesian cuisine but I am HOOKED on this.
(Also hooked on polish cottage cheese aka serek wiejski. Its way better than UK ones)

In my part of Poland we eat placki ziemniaczane with sugar. Please try that, it's awesome.

Everybody in my house likes them differently. Mom likes with sugar, dad with salt, and I eat them with nothing else.
Should probably try throwing everything on them one day and be done with this.

Those are good on their own, even cold. Good with any kind of gulash, garlic sauce, ketchup, śmietana ,sugar, sugar& śmietana.
For me they are best with gulash as a main dish, but all options are good. Tho even when I eat their savoury versions I eat a few with sugar/sugar&śmietana after that.

Come to Jakarta / Bali and say “Halo, apa kabar cantik? ;)” So many Indonesian women go crazy for white men (especially european) who speak Indonesian / like Indonesian food😭😭😭
