Šúĺlance s Makom Recipe

Šúĺance s makom are small potato dumplings coated in a sweet poppy seed mixture, a classic Slovak dish often served as a main course or a sweet treat. The secret to a smooth, easy-to-handle dough is boiling the potatoes with their skins on, then letting them cool completely — ideally overnight — which helps them dry out. Once shaped into little pillows and cooked until they float, they get a quick toss in melted butter before a generous coating of ground poppy seeds and powdered sugar.
