Šúľance (small potato dumplings with poppy seeds)

Instructions

1. Cook the potatoes in salted water until tender, then peel and mash them finely.
2. Work in the flour, egg and salt, then knead until you have a smooth, supple dough.
3. Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into logs about 1 cm thick.
4. Cut the logs into pieces about 2 cm long, then shape them into small balls or sticks.
5. Drop the šúľance into boiling salted water and let them rise to the surface, about 3 minutes, then drain.
6. Mix the ground poppy seeds with the sugar and serve the šúľance lukewarm, drizzled with melted butter and sprinkled with the mixture.
