Cepelinai are traditional Lithuanian dumplings made primarily from grated potatoes and filled with meat, usually pork or beef. They are shaped like zeppelins, which is how they got their name. The dish is often served with a rich sauce, typically made from sour cream and fried onions, enhancing its flavor. This hearty meal is popular in Lithuania and is often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions. Cepelinai can also be made with a vegetarian filling, using ingredients like mushrooms or cheese, making them versatile for different dietary preferences.
