Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is semantic and genetic characterization of Kuyavia names of potato dishes. It allows not only to explain the motivation and origin of the analyzed units but to recreate the image of a former village, its culture, traditions, beliefs, knowledge and culinary skills as well as the history of Kuyavia. The names of the dishes are undoubtedly a mine of information about the region because it is impossible to understand their cultural heritage without referring to the earlier generations’ experiences and knowledge of the world stored in the language, specifically in its lexical layer.
