Kopytka are traditional Polish dumplings made from a simple mixture of potatoes, flour, and eggs. They are often shaped like small, flat ovals and can be served as a side dish or a main course. Kopytka are similar to Italian gnocchi and are typically boiled until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked. These dumplings can be enjoyed in various ways, such as tossed in butter and herbs or served with sauces. They are a popular comfort food in Poland and can be paired with meats, vegetables, or enjoyed on their own for a satisfying meal.
