Potato Dumplings with Fruits
During the summer many fruits ripen, so they have also become part of the traditional Slovak recipes. The cooked dough dishes are some of the most popular among them, where besides gnocchi and noodles, potato dumplings with fruit belong to. Many different kinds of fruit can be used for its preparation, but the most common are cherries, strawberries, apricots, plums and blueberries. As a topping/streusel curd, nuts, poppy seed or bread crumbs can be used.

| Method | Cook the potatoes with their skins, and once cool, peel and grate them on a fine grater. On a board knead a stiff dough from all the ingredients: flour, eggs, potatoes and salt. Roll out the dough soon so it does not get runny. Cut it into squares, put washed and drained piece of fruit into every piece and shape it as into a ball. Boil them in slightly salted water for about 7 minutes until they float to the surface. Take them out but do not rinse them. Pour melted butter over the finished dumplings, and sprinkle topping - cream cheese with sugar, ground poppy seeds with sugar, ground nuts with sugar or fried breadcrumbs. Method for the crumbly topping - streusel: Fry the breadcrumbs in a dry pan until pink. Sweeten the fried breadcrumbs with powdered sugar. You can also add minced or chopped walnuts to sprinkle over the still hot, buttered dumplings.
