Dumplings with fried pork rinds

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Vareniki with cracklings can be served with boiled meat, stewed cabbage, or with onion and egg. My most popular version is vareniki with mashed potatoes. The dough here is my favorite – made with sour cream. The vareniki turn out very tender, not rubbery. Use bacon for the cracklings according to your taste. The dish is quite satisfying on its own and doesn't require any sauce, but if desired, you can serve it with sour cream. The finished dish can now be served.
