Description
Delightfully fluffy Polish potato dumplings made from leftover mashed potatoes, perfect for cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup white mushrooms, chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cold mashed potatoes, egg, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Divide the dough into small pieces, roll into balls, then flatten each slightly.

- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crispy.
- Stir in minced garlic and diced onion, allowing them to soften.
- Add chopped mushrooms and sauté until everything is golden.
- Toss in the cooked dumplings and gently mix to coat in the savory mixture. Finish with a pat of butter.
