Bryndzové Halušky (Slovak Potato Dumpling🇭🇺


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the Dumpling Dough:

  • Grate the raw potatoes finely into a bowl.
  • Add salt, then gradually mix in flour (start with 250g) and egg (if using).
  • The dough should be thick but still drop slowly from a spoon. Add more flour if too watery.

2. Boil the Dumplings:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Use a halušky grater or a large-holed colander to press the dough into the boiling water.
  • Dumplings will sink and rise to the surface when cooked (about 3–5 min). Remove with a slotted spoon.

3. Prepare the Topping:

  • While dumplings boil, fry the bacon or lardons until crispy.
  • In a separate bowl, mix Bryndza with sour cream until creamy (skip sour cream if using very soft cheese).

4. Assemble:

  • Toss the hot dumplings with the Bryndza mixture until coated.
  • Top with crispy bacon and its rendered fat.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

🇸🇰 Notes:

  • If you can’t find Bryndza, mix feta cheese + sour cream until smooth for a close substitute.
  • Serve with soured milk or kefir for the most authentic experience!
