The tangy sheep cheese it's tossed with is so sharp that a topping of crispy bacon bits is considered non-negotiable, just to balance it out.
Small potato dumplings boiled and tossed with soft, tangy sheep's cheese (juhtúró) and topped with crispy bacon bits, served in bowls at markets and mountain festivals across Hungary's northern highlands near the Slovak border.
Why it's made this way: The dish and its sheep-cheese topping are shared across the Hungarian-Slovak highland border, reflecting the pastoral, sheep-herding traditions of the Palóc hill country rather than the flatlands further south.
