📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Strapačky uses the same potato dumplings as bryndzové halušky, but instead of cheese they're tossed with sauerkraut fried with bacon. It's long been made in regions and seasons when bryndza was hard to get. The combination of tang and smokiness makes it delicious in a different way from halušky.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a mountain home in northern Slovakia, a frying pan full of dumplings and sauerkraut is tossed together and served onto the family's plates.
