Kugelis, also known as bulvių plokštainis ("potato pie"), is a potato dish from Latvia and Lithuania. Potatoes, bacon, milk, onions, and eggs are seasoned with salt and pepper and flavoured, for example with bay leaves and/or marjoram, then oven-baked. It is usually eaten with sour cream or pork rind with diced onions.{{cite book|author1=von Bremzen, Anya|author2=Welchman, John|title=Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook|publisher=Workman Publishing|location=New York|year=1990|pages=[https://archive.org/details/pleasetotablethe00vonb/page/319 319–20]|isbn=0-89480-845-1|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/pleasetotablethe00vonb/page/319}}
