📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Lokše are a traditional Slovak flatbread of boiled potato kneaded with flour and cooked thin on a hot plate. Fresh off the griddle they're spread with fat or butter and rolled, or filled with sweet poppy seeds or jam. During autumn wine festivals and goose season, spreading them with fat from roast goose or duck is classic.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a stall at an autumn wine festival, thin dough cooks on a hot griddle and is buttered, rolled up, and handed over wrapped in paper.
