Knedliky- Czech Potato Dumplings is a classic Czech dish that is loved by many. It is a staple food in many Czech kitchens and is often served as a side dish to a meaty main course, such as beef goulash or roasted pork. This dish is made with simple ingredients such as potatoes, flour, and salt. The potatoes are boiled, mashed, and mixed with flour to create a dough-like texture. The dough is then shaped into logs, cut into slices, and boiled until they rise to the surface. The end result is an incredibly satisfying and hearty dish that is perfect for cold winter nights or lazy Sunday afternoons.
