Potato and Cheese Dumplings / Lazy Dumplings / Kluski Leniwe z Ziemniakami
Traditional dumplings are made with potatoes, flour and eggs. Lazy dumplings are made with farmer's cheese, eggs and flour. Of course, every region has different recipes. My dumplings are a combination of both recipes. The resulting dumplings are fluffier than the classic ones. These dumplings can be served sweet with variety of fresh fruits and sour cream, with fried breadcrumbs, fried bacon, and even fried onions.Kopytka (means “little hooves”) are a kind of potato dumpling in Polish, Belarusian and Lithuanian cuisines. They are similar to Italian gnocchi and German Schupfundel. Kopytka can be either a main dish or side.

Cut the ready dough into smaller pieces, with each hand roll to the thickness of the finger, coat in flour, with a sharp knife cut into diamond shapes at an angle. Pour about 5 L of water to a pot, add salt to the water. Place the dumplings in the boiling water.

I am Polish myself and my dad would make those for dinner and he would make brown gravy and put it over them. I will try this recipe. See if it is good as my dad’s.
