Šúľance are a beloved Slovak dessert made from mashed potatoes and flour, rolled into delicate dumplings. Often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings, they reflect the country's rich culinary traditions. Typically served with poppy seeds or breadcrumbs, they offer a unique blend of flavors and textures.
Drain the boiled potatoes and let them cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes until smooth or pass them through a potato ricer for a finer texture.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and egg.
Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much as the dough should remain soft.
Divide the dough into smaller portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into long, thin ropes about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the dumplings.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the dumplings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
In a bowl, combine the ground poppy seeds or breadcrumbs with powdered sugar.
Arrange the cooked dumplings on a serving plate.
Drizzle generously with melted butter.
Sprinkle the poppy seed and sugar mixture over the dumplings.
Enjoy your meal!
