Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes, grate them finely, then squeeze the grated pulp in a clean cloth.
  2. In a bowl, mix the grated pulp with the flour, salt and enough milk to make a supple dough.
  3. Fry the diced bacon with the chopped onion until golden, then let it cool.
  4. Take a ball of dough in your hand, hollow it out and place a spoonful of filling in the centre.
  5. Close the dough around the filling to form a ball or a small patty, sealing it well.
  6. Bring salted water to a boil and cook the pitepalt for 25 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
  7. Drain and serve hot with fried bacon and sour cream.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the bacon with caramelised onions and a pinch of liquid smoke to keep the smoky taste.
