Rakott Krumpli (potato casserole) baked in the oven, a popular dish in Hungary. Originates probably from a traditional Jewish meal, eaten during the "nine days". These are the first nine days of the month of Av, when orthodox Jews refrain from eating meat, in remembrance of the destruction of the Temple.
