Easy to guess from the name, Silesian potato dumplings originated from Śląski (Silesia), a mining region located in the south of Poland. Right now, kluski śląskie are popular all over the country.

Tips For Making Silesian Potato Dumplings

Use Warm Potatoes.

That will make forming Silesian dumplings easier. You can use cold potatoes as well, however, you are risking having lumps in your kluski slaskie.

Always Use The Proportion 1:4.

Even though I am giving you the exact proportions in my Silesian dumplings recipe, you just need to remember the simple rule:

Divide cooked potatoes into 4 parts. Take out ¼ of potatoes and set aside. Fill the hole with potato starch. 

That’s it.

What To Serve Kluski Slaskie With?

Any Kind Of Meat With Sauce.

Since Silesian dumplings are a bit dry when served solo, you need to eat them with juicy meat, or goulash.

When it comes to veggies, red cabbage salad or shredded beets salad are the best to have with kluski slaskie.

How To Store Kluski Slaskie?

In the fridge for up to 3 days.

In the freezer for up to 6 months. When you want to cook your frozen Silesian potato dumplings, don’t defrost them but throw them to the boiling hot water while they are still frozen.

What’s The Difference Between Kopytka And Kluski Slaskie?

They are both made of potatoes, however, you add potato starch to Silesian dumplings, while you add flour to kopytka.
