Origin of the recipe

Babka is a casserole made from grated potatoes in Belarus. Babka made from matzah, a dry, unleavened bread baked by Jews, is called matsebrai. This babka is baked for Passover, when religious customs prohibit the consumption of leavened bread. Besides eggs, matsebrai is sometimes topped with apples, mushrooms, cheese, and ground meat.
