description Slovak Lokše Overview

Slovak lokše are traditional thin, unleavened potato flatcakes originating from the regions of Slovakia. The dough is made from grated boiled potatoes combined with flour and salt, then baked on a hot, dry griddle until lightly spotted. Rather than being eaten plain, these pliable flatcakes are typically spread with savory or sweet toppings and fillings, most commonly goose fat, duck liver pâté, poppy seed paste, or jam. They are a popular accompaniment to roast goose dishes.
