Halušky (maybe dumplings) Ingredients: 2-3 Potatoes Flour 4-5 tbsp Salt 1 egg Instructions: Peel potatoes and finely shred them. Add egg and flour. Make a dough that is not too tough but not to watery. You may use more or less flour or add a little bit of water if it is too tough. Add 1 tsp of salt. Boil water w 2 tbsp of salt. use teaspoon to drop a little bit of the dough into the boiling water. Be sure the water is always boiling. When halusky are done they will float on top of the water, Pick them out with a strainer. Because I didn't find bryndza here in the US, (it is cheese from sheep), I used 1 package of Feta Cheese and 3/4 of a pack of cream cheese, and 3-4 tbsp of milk. Heat everything together. Mix all the time. When it starts to boil, remove from the heat. Cut up little pieces of bacon and fry them. Serve halusky with the cheese sauce on top and sprinkle with the bacon pieces.

Zemiakové placky Ingredients: 3 large potatoes one egg Salt Marjoram black pepper half a small onion 1-2 cloves of garlic 1 spoon of flour oil Instructions: Using a fine food grater, shred 2 or 3 large peeled potatoes. Then take a strainer and press it down on the potato shreddings. Turn the pot over and drain out as much water as possible. You can also take a wooden spoon and press out more water. Then repeat with the strainer. Next shred half of a small onion and 1 or 2 cloves of garlic. Add one egg, salt, marjoram, ground black pepper, onion and garlic. Also add one tablespoon of flour. Mix together. Heat up oil. Then add about two tablespoons of potato mixture per pancake. Be careful here, because if water is left in the mixture, the oil will splatter out. Use the back side of the spoon to flatten out the pancake. Fry each side for about 4 minutes, until the pancakes get nicely dark brown. It helps to use two spatulas when flipping the pancakes.
