Prazoki are dumplings made of mashed potatoes that are similar to the Silesian kluski, but not quite. Also originating from the Silesian region, and more specifically from a town called Poreba, these dumplings are not boiled in water like the kluski are. Instead, they are made from potatoes that have already been boiled and are cooked over an open fire.
The boiled and mashed potatoes are cooked with flour and water and then topped with some delicious fried bacon and onions.
Served warm, this dish is absolutely delicious!
In fact, the dish is so popular that the locals host an annual festival called Światowy Festiwal Prażonek or Worldwide Prażonki Festival.
Yes, prazoki is called by many different names in different parts of Poland. The other names for this popular Polish side dish are:
prażonki
dziady
prażucha
duszonki
fuszer
porka

Dip the spoon in lard or oil before forming the dumplings so that they don’t stick.
