  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (386 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 220 g Potatoes, raw
  • 60 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 70 g Feta cheese
  • 15 g Sour cream
  • 1 g Salt

Method

  1. Peel and finely grate the potatoes, then mix with the flour, egg and salt to a thick, sticky batter.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a halušky grater, or by dropping small spoonfuls off the edge of a spoon, drop dumpling-sized pieces of the batter directly into the boiling water.
  3. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the dumplings float and are cooked through, then scoop out with a slotted spoon and drain.
  4. While still hot, mix the drained dumplings with the crumbled sheep cheese and the sour cream until the cheese melts into a creamy coating.
  5. Serve immediately, piping hot, while the cheese is still soft and creamy.
