Pozdravy

I think that's the name of it according to the picture's comments. What's in it? I've never had this before. It seems Polish.

Many countries have their own versions of potato based dumplings. In Poland there are many dumpling variants made of boiled potatoes. We have the ones with savory filling “Pyzy“, the sweet ones “knedle” and “kopytka” which are not filled with anything at all. Some people would probably want to add “pierogi” to the above dumpling list, but their dough normally doesn’t contain any boiled potatoes (apart from the filling) so they don’t really belong here.

Knedle ze śliwkami (plums)is typical Polish sweet dish, often eaten as a sweet dinner. The Polish kitchen isn’t always healthy… :-)

The above looks like knedle with strawberries, topped with strawberry sauce. Yammm!
Tis the season to get them at a restaurant or a deli.

Nope, these are definitely Pyzy topped with some tomato-meat sauce. Pyszne :)

That thing is making me really hungry right now. It does remind me of siopao, a Filipino delicacy stuffed with meat, but without the sauce. I think I'll attempt to make the dish in the picture above once I find a recipe online.

I agree - the picture looks like "pyzy" (called so in Poznań/Wielkopolska - in some other regions they are called "pyzy drożdżowe", because for us in Mazowsze (Warszawa - Łódź) "pyzy" are potato dumplings with or without filling, the difference between pyzy without filling and kopytka is that for kopytka you use only cooked potatoes, while for pyzy both cooked and raw)

Pyzy (drożdżowe) are yeast-based, the dough is the same (or very similar) like for Polish donuts (pączki), but of course you don't add marmolade/jam and you don't cook them immersed in oil (like pączki), but on steam

pyzy in Wielkopolska (Poznań) are usually eaten with tomato sauce (often with sausages - "sos myśliwski" or other meat, I don't remember exactly 'cause I'm a vegetarian) or for example with mushroom sauce ("sos grzybowy", mostly of champignons, "sos pieczarkowy"), while in Dolny Śląsk (Wrocław) they are very popular with a sweet sauce (for example with blackberries - jagody), I think is an influence of the Czech cuisine.
