It's been a tradition that started back on my mothers side of the family. She is of Russian/Swedish/ Slovak decent - and I feel dumb cause I'm not sure which of the 3 the tradition started with. We seal ours using a fork so the look pretty and serve with butter and browned onions. My step dad started putting parmasean on top as well and I must admit that it is a great addition.
