I am Livya from Greece, I'm 27 years old, I love cooking and I work as graphic-web designer.
Wow, I love these! I’ve never heard of them. I wonder why there aren’t more sweets with potatoes. Is this a special Greek recipe? Such a great idea. They are so cute and colorful too.
These look absolutely adorable!
They looks so lovely and sounds very interesting. They seems so simple to make, too. I bet they’re delicious
These are really pretty with the different colors. I’ve never heard of them.
This is new to me. Sounds very interesting. So very pretty too!
Your recipe always simple but made wonderful meal !
Wonderful! I love how colorful they are, and so easy for making! Great photo too!
That is cool. I am loving thie recipe.
this looks very pretty and i love the flavors in here too..thanks for sharing this..hope you have a nice day.
Such a nice treat!
This is like what we call klepon in Indonesia. The different, we use glutinous rice flour and fill with palm/coconut sugar.
Love all the gorgeous colours!
These look so cute. I was surprised to see potatoes in the ingredient list. I’ll have to give these a try!
wow! they’re so colorful and very festive
This is a wonderful treat. I must try this.
That’s a nice idea. I’m thinking of doing some with sweet potato and skip the sugar.
My Grandma used to make these when I was little! They are wonderful! I love how you have colored them pastel, they are beautiful.
I like the sound of these. I’ve heard of using potatoes for chocolate cake and I am reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society so this sounds like a perfect and delicious sweet snack to nibble on.
