Step 1 of 5
Bryndzové Halušky
Finely grate the potatoes, then mix with the flour, egg and salt in a bowl until a sticky, thick but pliable dough forms.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Using a halušky or spaetzle maker, press the dough directly into the boiling water. Alternatively, use a tilted cutting board and a knife to scrape small pieces of dough into the water.
Step 3
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Scoop out with a slotted spoon into a large bowl.
Step 4
Chop the bacon into small pieces and fry in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
Step 5
Toss the warm dumplings with the bryndza cheese until well-coated and creamy. Top with the crispy bacon and its drippings, and garnish with chopped chives.
