HOREHRONSKĚ GULKY Z BENUŠE

Upper hron balls from BENUŠA

You will need: 2.5 Lbs. of potatoes, 8 oz. of flour, 1 egg, salt, 3.5 oz. of onions, 10 oz. of cooked smoked pork meat, marjoram, one clove of garlic, 1.5 oz. pre sifted flour, 1o oz of sauerkraut, 1.5 oz. of lard or oil, 3.5 oz. of onions, 2.5 oz of smoked bacon.
Wash and peal the potatoes. Grate them and add flour, egg, and salt, fine chopped onions, finely chopped smoked pork meat, marjoram and pressed garlic. Make a dough and with wet hands form small balls. Cover them lightly with flour and cook slowly in salty water for about 15 minutes. Sauté the sauerkraut in lard or oil. In another pot fry in lard or oil finely chopped onions with finely chopped smoked bacon. You serve the balls sprinkled with fried onions and bacon on bed of the sautéed sauerkraut. I had this simple but delicious dish last year, October 19, in Telgart during the festival: "Echoes of old Slavic language under the Kralova Hola."
