I grew up making these at my mother and grandmother's elbow, they are SUPPOSED to be quite small, the big dumblings are made with cooked potatos, NOT Kluski style! These are delicious in soup or browned and as a side with kielbasa. Good topped as suggested too, though we often served them topped with 'browned butter'. Gently brown butter in a heavy pan till a rich toasty brown. Another treat, is to saute in butter, then scramble eggs with them for breakfast. Mmmmmmm.

How awful, that someone would give one star, when they were the ones to ruin the recipe in the first place! After adding a ton of flour, no wonder they were cakey!! These are delicious. I generally use bacon in place of the ham and about 1/2- 3/4C flour.

I have been looking for this recipe for ages, a friend makes this but uses diced and fried bacon,(instead of ham) adds a jar of sauerkraut at the last and heats that all and serves over the top of the dumplings. It is out of this world.

Kluskies are what God intended potatoes to be used for. My family ate these at almost every meal and loved them. Their best served with a pork roast or a German sausage. Accompanied with apple sauce or a pork gravy they are to die for. My brother passed away two months ago in a hospice. He knew that he didn't have much time left when his daughter asked if he wanted anything special for dinner. This was the night before he died and he knew he was dying. He asked his daughter to make some kluskies and pork roast. That was the last meal he ate as the next day, because he stopped taking his meds, he went down hill and passed away at 9PM. The family all love kluskies and now we say they are "to die for".
