Looking for a dumpling/pierogi recipe



griffor925   Jun 1, 07, 08:19 /  #
Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me....

When I was little, my grandma used to make these sort of dumplings. She called them pierogies, but they weren't filled. I remember they had green onions mixed in the dough, not sure if the dough had potato or not. They were about the same size of a pierogi and sort of an oval shape. She would boil them and then fry them in a pan. So good! She passed away when I was 11 and no one in the family has the recipe or remembers how to make them. If anyone has any idea of what I'm talking about, what they're called or a recipe, I would really appreciate it. I've been searching forever for them and haven't had any luck!

I think you're talking about kopitki - kind of like gnocchi? My mum fries them with bacon...mmm... will look up the recipe if someone doesn't post it 1st.

Boiled potato dumplings - Kluski Kartoflane Gotowane

Serves 6: 2 lbs. potatoes, 4 eggs seperated, s&p, 2tsp parsely (maybe the green onions?)

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water. Drain and mash. Combine all ingredients and egg yolks and stiff egg whites - fold in. Drop by the spoonful into salted boiling water, cover and wait till they rise to the top. Remove and drain. fry with bacon/fat and serve.

Do the bacon thing! Dice it up finely (including the fat) and fry them up well, add the kopytki and fry till lightly golden - it's to die for! Can't wait to hear how you go.

They were bigger than gnocchi. About the size of a pierogi, but kind of oval shaped.

Mmmm.... That sounds so good! Bacon is always tasty!

Hmmm.. I'll have a squizz through my recipe books and see if there is something else that fits the description but I really think this recipe is close.

Actually, if you're into polish cooking, there's a great book I have which I am sure you will be able to buy in the US.

Check it out at:

amazon.com/Polish-Cookery-Bestselling-Cookbook-American/dp/ 0517505266/ref=sr_1_1/104-5884840-2915146?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=11807061 19&sr=1-1

Its called Polish Cookery by Marja Ochorowicz-Montowana. Its a polish book translated by an american.
