Ingredients

  • 450 g Potatoes, white

  • 5 spoon Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 200 g Cheese, goat, soft

  • 4 spoon Milk, sheep

  • 100 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

Steps

  1. Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly, cut them into cubes, and blend them well in an electric mixer. In a bowl, mix the egg, flour, blended potatoes, and salt. Quickly knead the potato dough. Work with wet hands.

  2. Place a pot of salted water on the stove and wait for it to boil. Drop the prepared dough into the boiling water using a spoon (use two spoons to help). The water must keep boiling.

  3. The potato dumplings are cooked when they float to the surface of the water. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and keep them warm.

  4. Cut the bacon into cubes. Crumble the cheese in a pot and mix it with milk. Place the pot on the stove and heat it while stirring to create a smooth, liquid mixture. Heat a pan and fry the bacon cubes until crispy.

  5. Divide the potato dumplings onto plates or bowls, pour the cheese sauce over them, and sprinkle the crispy bacon cubes on top. Serve the dish warm.
