Krumpli Pogacsa (Hungarian Cheese Scones/Buns)

These were made by my husband’s grandmother, still fresh 😀

There are various pogacsa in Hungary and the most known one is using bacon and is called Tepertos Pogacsa. The other common one would be this following yumminess 😀 Which is Cheese Pogacsa.

As it is using krumpli, potato, as the main ingredient, it is called as Krumpli Pogacsa 😀
