Bryndzové Halušky
Bryndzové Halušky are soft potato dumplings, a classic Slovak dish, served with tangy bryndza cheese and crispy bacon. The dumplings themselves come together quickly from grated potato, flour, egg, and salt. Once boiled, they get tossed with the creamy sheep's cheese, then topped with salty, rendered bacon and its drippings. It's a hearty meal that’s ready in about 50 minutes.

Make the Dough
Finely grate the potatoes, either by hand or using a food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes to a bowl and mix them with the flour, egg, and salt until a sticky, pliable dough forms. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but still easy to work with. - 02
Cook the Dumplings
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Using a halušky maker (or a tilted cutting board and a knife), press or scrape small pieces of the dough directly into the boiling water. Let the dumplings cook until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set them aside in a large bowl.
