Delicious Bryndzové Halušky Recipe - Authentic Slovakian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups potato (peeled and grated)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 200 grams bryndza cheese (or feta cheese)
  • 200 grams smoked pork (cut into small pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • 2 cups water (for boiling)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, combine grated potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

    Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  2. Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

    Make sure the water is boiling before adding the dumplings.
  3. Shape the Dumplings

    Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough into the boiling water.

    Keep the dumplings small for even cooking.
  4. Cook the Dumplings

    Once the dumplings float to the surface, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    Remove them with a slotted spoon.
  5. Prepare the Toppings

    In a skillet, melt butter and add smoked pork. Sauté until crispy.

    You can add more spices for flavor.
  6. Combine and Serve

    In a serving dish, mix the dumplings with bryndza cheese and top with the crispy pork.

    Serve hot for the best taste.
