These Polish dumplings have a secret that makes them completely different from any other dumplings in the world. Kluski Śląskie, or Silesian dumplings, are known for their unique thumbprint in the center. It’s not just a design, it helps the dumplings cook evenly by letting hot water flow through. Made from mashed potatoes, potato starch, and an egg, these dumplings come from Silesia, a historic region in Poland. That thumbprint isn’t just clever, it’s delicious. It creates a little bowl for gravy, butter, or bacon bits to collect in, turning every bite into a flavor bomb. At Restaurant Relax in Greenpoint, we make them the traditional way, simple, soft, and full of comfort. Come by and try a true Polish classic that’s stood the test of time.
