- Czech cooking is a delight that surprises any food lover. Even though Czech cuisine was shaped by the traditions of its neighbors (Austria, Hungary, Germany), its old recipes are a special source of inspiration. They're built on home-grown staples — legumes, grains, meat, and potatoes — and from those ingredients come the inventive, excellent dishes of the Czech Republic. Let's make one of these classics: potato škubánky.
- Cut the peeled potatoes into large pieces, cover with boiling water, and cook until half done. Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Make a few wells in the mass, fill them with the flour, and pour in half of the reserved cooking water. Cover the pan and let it sit over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Then drain off the water, season with salt, and mix thoroughly. Using a round spoon, scoop the stiff mixture into škubánky (dumplings) or croquettes. Arrange them on a plate and drizzle with the melted lard. To serve, sprinkle the škubánky with sugar, grated cheese, crushed poppy seeds, or farmer cheese. Enjoy.
