Ingredients

  • For the Halušky (Potato Dumplings):
  • 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • For the Bryndza Sauce:
  • 1 cup bryndza cheese (or substitute with feta cheese if unavailable)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • For the Bacon Topping:
  • 6 oz (170 g) bacon, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Halušky

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and egg. Mix until you get a thick, sticky dough.

Cook the Halušky

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Using a halušky maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough through the holes directly into the boiling water.

Cook until the halušky float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Keep warm.

Prepare the Bryndza Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the bryndza cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Cook the Bacon Topping

In a skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.

If using, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent and caramelized.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine and Serve

In a large serving bowl, toss the hot halušky with the bryndza sauce until well coated.

Sprinkle the crispy bacon (and onions, if using) over the top.

Enjoy your meal!
