I found your channel a few weeks ago and can't tell you how much I enjoy it!😊

I am Polish but live in California with a Japanese wife and American kids, and they all love these when I make them with BACON of course, thank you Anna for the tip on keeping the water from rolling I think that has been my problem from making them too soggy all these years, dzienkuje

The humble potato is one of the greatest treasures in the food world. The dumplings look so tasty and must try!

Nana was from Warsaw, we always had them with burnt butter along side of a nice roast beef...yum.

My mom would make these, serve them with buttered breadcrumbs. We would sprinkle with a bit of sugar and eat with applesauce….so a sweet version. I need to make these!

Your show is great. I don't understand why it's not promoted. The world needs to know! Chicago used to have many Polish stores and caterers. My heart is heavy when I see how it's changed.

my mum used to make mini ones and then brown them off in butter and bread crumbs. And i ate them like that with a little tomato sauce.....

Brings me back to my childhood. I like my kopytka slightly fried in butter with onion and bacon. Mmm

I have no way to thank you enough for retrieving all the recipes that were lost with the passing of my babushka! I have looked all over at different people cooking and you cook just like her. With the exception of the poppy seed roll. We just like poppy seed in then no nuts and no raisins and the swirl was small more layers l think l like the look of yours tbh. We did also make another type of roll was just called nut roll made from walnuts. Again THANK YOU!

@@PolishYourKitchen Can I ask you about this recipe? I did something wrong and my potato dough was not coming together well at all. I can see you are using gold potatoes, and I bet that really makes a lovely flavor. I unfortunately bought a cheap bag of Russet potatoes. When I weighed out one pound of uncooked russet, it only came out to about 2 and a half potatoes, and that didn't seem like enough to me, so I doubled the amount of potatoes (Mistake!). Looking at the amount in your bowl in the video, I just felt like I needed to boil more, but I was guessing. The dish lastnight still tasted great, but I couldn't get them to cook very firm and they started to turn back into mashed potatoes after I boiled them and tried to put them in a pan of butter. Do you think the kind of potato matters, such as using gold instead of russet, or is it just that I used WAY too much potato? Thanks so much for your help. I LOVE your cooking videos and have been sharing your website and youtube channel with as many family members and friends as I can

Hi Anna. I tried these for the first time last night and my husband (a Viking, mind you!) absolutely loved them. My dough was very sticky, though, even after adding more flour. I'm thinking it might have been the type of potatoes I used--peeled and boiled russets.

My mom, nana, and grandma made these but they didn’t cook the potatoes (they grated them and drained the water from them - a lot of extra work!)…and they sautéed kraut with bacon and mushrooms and added the Kopytka to the mixture after boiling - delicious!

This is a different recipe for a peirogy. I used to live in Cleveland , Ohio where there is a big community of polish people and there peirogy are made of a dough with a potato cheese feeling inside . This is very simple and easy .

My mother made these a little differently. She grated the potatoes into a bowl then added some salt and flour then egg.

Just grated them into the bowl and mixed up the other things then into the water.

I go for more waxy textures, they keep the dough sticky.

My maternal grandparents came from Poland but unfortunately died before I was born. I never got the chance to enjoy her Polish dishes but by watching you cook I am learning about delicious polish cuisine. Thank you for sharing your cuisine.

when we make these we boil and then let them cool. As they cool we fry up bite size bacon and when that's done we put the dumplings in with the bacon and the bacon grease to fry them up. They are sooooo yummy. :D That's the only way our family eats them.

I bet they are fantastic in Chicken soup, or deep fried (you would probably have to refrigerate them to fry them).

My Grandparent's on my Fathers side were from Poland and my Grandparent's on my mothers side were from Former Bohemia so our Potato dumplings were kind of a Polish German mix with more flour. We would just use a spoon to scoop up a glob and put into the boiling water then take them out after they float to the top. Growing up we always had pork roast, potato dumplings and sauerkraut. My mother would then take the gravy from the pork roast that she prepared with coffee to make it dark and very rich. Then pour it over the dumplings and pork. Your way looks very delicious and I will have to try it for sure. I like to experiment and I love kohlrabi so one day I actually made kohlrabi dumplings instead of potatoes. It all worked out exactly like the potato dumplings but had that slight kohlrabi taste as a bonus. You should try it someday it was very yummy. I enjoyed your video. Thanks!

A couple of things: 1. They will fall apart if you boil them too long. 2. Kopytka are not really soup dumplings. They do well served with sauce or sautéed in butter, but not really in soup. I guess, if I were to serve then in soup, I would make them a lot smaller, boil in water and combine with soup right before eating/serving.
