Potato pyzy
editPotato pyzy (pyzy ziemniaczane) are prepared from raw, or a mix of raw and boiled, potatoes,[2] optionally with added flour, eggs and salt, and cooked in boiling water. Stuffed with meat, twaróg or mushroom stuffing, they are alternatively served without stuffing, and instead with bacon, lard or fried onion.
Dishes prepared in a similar way to potato pyzy include goły, kartacze and Silesian dumplings.
