Klopsy are usually smaller than kotelty mielone. They may also be called pulpety.

Klopsiki are usually served for a dinner in Poland, that’s why the best add-ons for Polish meatballs are:

- groats (buckwheat, bulgur, millet, etc.)
- rice (brown, white, basmati, etc,)
- bread
- pasta (and sauce, for example, mushroom or tomato sauce)
