Kystybai, these are unleavened flat cakes with potato pores inside.
From oriental cooking.

Bon Appetit!

We always fried them in oil on both sides. My grandmother was taught to make them by a familiar Tatar woman a very long time ago, so over the years, grandma forgot their name and we all just called this dish - cabasti.
Very tasty and satisfying.

We have this dish - a darling. When you want to pamper yourself.
And in the morning - cold ones with milk also go well. And without oil.

In Kazan, when I ate, of this type, only there potatoes and fat tail fat slices, it was very tasty.
It's a pity I didn't remember the name, but I can't find the recipe ...
Maybe someone knows?

kystybai do not crack when folded?
Doesn't the dough come out dry after the pan? or does the oil soften it immediately?

kystyby is rolled up hot, removed from the pan, smeared with oil, folded in half and again on top with butter, cover with a napkin so that it does not cool down and does not wind.
When serving, pour over melted butter or usually fry at home.
The filling can be varied: potato, pumpkin puree, millet porridge, millet-pumpkin porridge.

Thank you so much!

is the pan not necessarily cast iron?
Teflon coated won't work?

kystyby is baked in a dry frying pan without oil, if a Teflon pan can be heated without oil, then why not - you can.

a couple of years ago I had a very good life lesson after which I clearly understood - you cannot leave a Teflon frying pan without oil on the fire
