Polish Mashed Potato Dumplings (Kopytka)
I ate these Polish Mashed Potato Dumplings (Kopytka) all the time when I was in Poland. They are like a Polish version of gnocchi – mashed potato combined with flour and egg to make a dough. One tip I picked up there was: don’t use leftover mashed potatoes that were mixed with milk and butter. Simple freshly mashed potatoes cooked in their jackets are the best option for this recipe.
I make a Polonaise topping to accompany these kopytka. Polonaise is a simple sauce made from butter and breadcrumbs. Thanks to the breadcrumbs, it becomes more of a thick topping than a sauce but it is really delicious with these dumplings.

Recipe Reviews
Unique meal I'm from Canada so trying a meal out from Poland is pretty damn cool, not sure if I made it taste how it's supposed to but I stuck to the recipe and it turned out amazing.
Kopytka is a good lunch/dinner for all year round totally reocmmend it.
Vegetarian and different cultured meal nothing better than this.
Takes a really long time to make this and they turned out super mushy..
Jelena over did it again! brilliant polish dish from home thanks to you super pleased with how this meal turned out.
Going to give this a shot today hopefully it all turns out good.
I actually made the polonaise sauce for my rice too it was so good that its worth trying it with other types of meals.
Enjoyed every bite of it coolest and easiest dumplings ive ever made.
Mashed potato dumplings are great and all but have you tried the vareniki with cherries?? Holy crap that stuff is good, both are equally amazing to be honest.
Made my bestie cry cause she hasnt had food from her homeland in years lol thx for sharing.
Thank you! Approved!
