Ingredients
Scale
- 750 g potatoes, peeled and finely grated
- Salt (optional)
- 250 g all-purpose flour (hladkej múky)
- 250 g bryndze cheese, cut into very small pieces
- 100 g bacon (údenej slaniny), cooked and cut into small pieces
Directions
- Combine the grated potatoes with with the flour and salt to make a dough.
- Shape the dough into small cylindrical pieces less than 3 cm in size.
- Transfer the dumplings to a pot of boiling salted water. When the dumplings rise to the top of the boiling water, remove one to make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
- Remove the dumplings from the pot with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a warmed plate.
- Immediately after dumplings are placed on the plate, scatter the cheese over top, and let the cheese melt over the dumplings. Mix if desired.
- Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits on top of the cheese.
- Serve piping hot.
Notes
If in a hurry, try replacing the from-scratch halusky with store-bought potato gnocchi.
If unable to find bryndze, you can substitute crumbled goat cheese or one of several types of crumbled feta. Some feta are stronger-flavored, which is preferable here.
