Hat-shaped potato dumplings from Idrija, made of thin pasta dough wrapped around seasoned potato. The first Slovenian dish to gain EU Traditional Speciality.
Zlikrofi recipe dates to mid-19th-century Idrija and likely arrived with German mining families from Transylvania. The name probably comes from German schlichtkrapfen, slippery dumpling. They were protected at Slovenian national level in 2002 and at EU level in 2010, becoming the first Slovenian dish to gain TSG status. Traditional service is with bakalca, a mutton-and-lamb stew.
