Instructions
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into large cubes and cook for 20 minutes in boiling salted water until a knife slides through easily.
- Meanwhile, slice the onion and fry it in butter over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very soft and golden.
- Drain the potatoes and roughly mash them with a fork or potato masher, without turning them into a smooth paste.
- Add the crumbled bryndza, the sour cream, the crushed garlic and the onions with their butter. Stir vigorously to get a creamy texture with some lumps.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and marjoram, then serve hot, sprinkled with spring onions if you have them.
Variations and tips
One-pot meal. Add grilled bacon bits and serve with a green salad for a complete meal.
Without bryndza. Replace it with fresh goat's cheese and a little extra salt.
