Method
1. Peel the potatoes, grate them and place them in a bowl.
2. Mix the flour and the salt with the grated potatoes until
you get a thick and sticky dough.
3. In the meantime, you can also put the water in a big pot
on the cooker.
4. Cut up the bacon into small pieces and cook it on low heat
until it’s nice and red.
5. If you like it extra creamy, mix the bryndza cheese with
the cream.
6. Sieve the dough gradually with the dumpling sieve above
the cooker with the boiling water.
Tip: This recipe can also be prepared in the traditional
way, as our mothers would do. This involves cutting up
the pieces of dough on a wooden chopping board and then
dropping them into the water.
7. When the dumplings start floating on the water, it means
they are done. You can keep them boiling a short while
after they are done to make sure they are cooked all the
way through.
8. Scoop the dumplings out of the water using a strainer
and then put them straight into a bowl filled with bryndza
cheese.
9. Mix the dumplings with the bryndza cheese thoroughly.
10. Sprinkle every portion with roasted bacon.
Tip
Dumplings with bryndza is a dish that tastes best right after
it’s served.
