Ingredients
- 2 cups grated potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Water (as needed)
- Cooking oil or butter for serving
- Optional: sautéed onions or bacon for topping
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, salt, and egg. Mix well until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the potato mixture into the simmering water. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. This indicates they are cooked through.
- Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and place them in a serving dish. You can drizzle a bit of olive oil or melted butter over them to prevent sticking.
- If desired, you can sauté some onions or cook bacon to add a savory topping for extra flavor.
Enjoy your homemade Slovak Halusky hot, perhaps served alongside your favorite protein or a fresh salad. This dish is not just a meal, it’s a warm hug on a plate!
