Method
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Boil the potatoes with their skins on until tender.
Let them cool completely (preferably overnight), then peel and mash them finely.
2. Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, semolina, and salt.
Knead the mixture until you get a smooth, non-sticky dough.
3. Shape the Šúĺlance
Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a thin rope (about 1.5 cm in diameter).
Cut into 3 cm-long pieces and roll between your palms to shape small dumplings.
4. Cook the Dumplings
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Drop in the dumplings in batches and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
Drain and transfer to a bowl.
5. Prepare the Topping
In a separate bowl, mix ground poppy seeds and powdered sugar.
Melt the butter and keep it ready.
6. Assemble the Dish
Drizzle the cooked dumplings with melted butter.
Toss them in the poppy seed-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm, optionally with a dusting of extra powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
