Slovak potato flatbread, griddled hot and served with goose fat and salt as Christmas anchor or with sweet poppyseed and walnut fillings as a snack.
Lokse are the Slovak peasant potato flatbread made through the Carpathian villages, traditionally griddled on a cast-iron plate next to the fire. The Christmas tradition pairs lokse with goose fat at the Christmas Eve table; the sweet versions with poppyseed and walnut have become Bratislava Christmas market staples.
