Ingredients (what you need)
750 g potatoes
250–300 g all-purpose flour
150 g bryndza
100 g bacon
oil
salt
Recipe steps
First, peel and grate the potatoes on a fine grater. Salt them and add flour. This will create a dough that should ideally be sticky.
In a larger pot, bring water to a boil. Then, push the dough through a strainer with large holes into the water. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, remove them with a strainer. Do not cook all the dumplings at once; divide them into batches, for example, three times, so they don’t crowd in the pot and cook evenly.
While the dumplings are cooking, fry diced bacon in a small amount of heated oil. Then, mix the still-warm dumplings directly in the pan with the bacon, bryndza, and bacon. Serve immediately.
