POLISH DROP POTATO DUMPLINGS (CIN)
I WAS ASKED BY ONE OF THE GALS IN GROUPS IF I WOULD POST THIS AS IT SEEMED TO HER IT WAS A LOT LIKE HER GRANDMOTHER USED TO MAKE. I don't know where I got this recipe, my Great-GrandMother was Dutch German, (German Dutch however it goes), so I belong to a German web site...it may have come from their. She was a Quaker.... She used to make these dumplings also, and passed it down...I never ended up with her written recipe. Although it a Polish recipe....the German and Polish have a lot of the same recipes just may be named a little different. She is the same Great-GrandMother that my 'Potato Candy' Recipe came from. ANYWAY...This recipe for Polish drop potato dumplings (kartoflane kluski) uses raw, grated potatoes instead of mashed potatoes as this potato dumpling recipe does. These dumplings couldn't be easier, no rolling or cutting. The slack or loose dough is dropped into the water by spoonfuls and boiled until tender. And there are no eggs in the recipe. P.S. THESE ARE NOT MY PHOTOS, THEY ARE BORROWED.

Steps:
- Grate selected number of raw, peeled potatoes. Add dash of salt and flour to make a heavy dough mixture. Mix with hands.
- Boil kettle of water. Drop dough with teaspoon (3/4 tsp.) into boiling water. Cook until done. Drain.
- Fry onion and bits of ham in a little butter and pour over Kluskies in serving dish. Serve.
Tips:
- Make sure to use starchy potatoes for this recipe, as they will hold their shape better when cooked.
- Grate the potatoes very finely. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Squeeze out as much water from the grated potatoes as possible. This will help to prevent the dumplings from becoming too soggy.
- Add some flour to the grated potatoes to help bind them together. The amount of flour you need will vary depending on the moisture content of the potatoes.
- Season the dumplings with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite sauce. Some popular options include sour cream, gravy, or butter.
Conclusion:
Kartoflane Kluski are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
