Ingredients
Deselect All
One 4-ounce piece slab bacon or 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
Kosher salt
1 pound all-purpose potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes or 1 very large potato)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups bryndza cheese (see Cook’s Note)
Chopped scallions or chives, for serving, optional
Directions
Special equipment: A spaetzle maker, optional
1. Add the bacon pieces to a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes for slab bacon and 4 minutes for thick cut. Transfer the bacon and rendered fat to a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
3. Peel the potatoes and grate them on the small holes of a box grater over a large bowl (keep all the liquid). Add the flour, egg and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir to combine; the batter should be thick but pourable (like really thick pancake batter).
4. Put the bryndza cheese (or feta-yogurt mixture) in a large serving bowl and set near the boiling water. Read More…
