Kluski / Kluski ziemniaczane / Potato Noodles

2 ½ lbs potatoes
1-2 eggs
3-4 cups flour
1 stick of butter
onions
salt

Wash the potatoes with the brush, boil, cool, and slip off the skins. Mash. Add egg, salt, flour, and form the dough. Divide into 3 portions. Roll into thin strips and cut onto pieces 3-4 cm long. Put the noodle into the salted boiling water and boil them until they come to the top. Drain. Serve with stewed meat, covered with butter or mushroom or tomato sauce.

Grandma’s way:

When you have leftover mashed potatoes from the previous dinner, add the egg, and flour and mix into a dough. Roll the thin rolls, and cut into 3” pieces. boil in the salty water, drain and serve with leftover meats or sauté onions in butter and fry noodles in it till nice and crispy.

With the leftover potatoes from the previous dinner, it is difficult to judge how much flour to use. First add egg to the potatoes, then gradually add flour until the consistency is like molding clay. Roll it into 1-2” log, and cut into 1” pieces (sprinkle flour to cut the stickiness). Bring water to boil, add a little salt, drop the noodles into boiling water, wait till they come to the top, drain. Pour the cold water over, drain in the colander, and then refry in butter. You can sauté some onions in the butter, then fry noodles in it.
