We make these instead of mashed potatoes for every holiday: KLUSKI

523149_638722049166_378506654_n3I have mentioned these when I posted a recipe for roasted chicken, so I am going to share the recipe!  These potato based dumplings are called KLUSKI ŚLĄSKIE (K-L-U-SS-K-I) in Polish and they are by far my favorite side dish out there!  

I am sharing some kluski pictures from when I was in Poland a few months back and some instructional pictures from when I made them at home recently. When we were selecting my wedding venue this year, one of our requirements was that the chef serve KLUSKI ŚLĄSKIE! It honestly was a deal breaker if they didn’t serve them.

I can’t wait to have them in a few days on Thanksgiving!

I never thought I would know how to make it myself. Turns out, I was over-reacting – it really is SO simple! I have made it a few times now, trying out different methods and ingredients.  I am going to share 2 different recipes with you: a juicy German-style roast chicken that is beyond simple to make and my favorite roast chicken that has a few extra steps involved (kitchen twine!)img_04782What’s a chicken without (more…)
