Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bryndza cheese *see post and notes for alternatives
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled
  • 2-3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 10 thick slices bacon diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and set over high heat.
  • When the water starts to boil add the kosher salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl add crumbled bryndza and set aside. You'll be adding the freshly boiled halusky to the bowl so don't set it too far away.
  • Very finely grate raw potatoes in a food processor or by hand. Do not drain off any juice you need it for the dough.
  • Start with two cups flour and add more if necessary. You want the consistency to be slightly tacky but not wet or overly sticky.
  • Cut small chucks of dough off a plate or a board into the boiling salted water.
  • Cook 5 minutes or so until they float to the top.
  • Remove from water with a ladle or small strainer, and add to bryndza cheese bowl. Gently toss to combine and cover while you finish cooking the halusky.
  • Continue cooking the halsuky until the dough is fully used. Adding each cooked round of halusky to the cheese bowl and tossing to combine.
  • When you're ready to serve, spoon the cheese covered halusky into a bowl and top with lots of crispy bacon and chives.
