Bryndzové Halušky (Slovak Dumplings with Cheese)
Bryndzové halušky is a Slovak dumpling dish. The ingredient that makes this national dish of Slovakia a favorite is the sheep's milk cheese, which has a slightly sharper taste than the non-flavored goat cheese spread available at many US grocery stores. The most abundant ingredient is the raw potato, which comprises most of the dough that creates the halušky and is a major staple in the Slovak diet.
