"Ahju kartul" means "oven meal", as this simple recipe used to be the most traditional way of preparing potatoes in Estonia and a staple of local family dinners. Indeed, this style of cooking can only be found at grandmother's house these days, as less and less time is dedicated to food preparation in modern Estonian lifestyle.
