Add eggs and flour. You can add a little more flour if the eggs are very large and the potatoes are slightly starchy. The composition should be such that zrazy can be sculpted from it.

We cut the cheese into small squares.
Make a flat circle out of it. Place a piece of cheese in the center and roll it into a rounded diamond shape.

We post the finished ones potato zrazy with egg, cheese and herbs onto a plate and garnish with slices of marinated salmon. Our dish can be served.
