potato dumplings
Boiled spud balls
Potato dumplings are small balls or lumps of dough made primarily from potatoes—often mashed or grated—mixed with flour, eggs, and seasonings, then boiled or steamed.
They appear across Central and Eastern European cuisines under various names: German *Kartoffelklöße*, Polish *kopytka*, Czech *bramborové knedlíky*.
Some are filled with meat or fruit; others are solid.
They typically accompany stews, roasts, or gravies: The goulash came with potato dumplings on the side.
