I got this recipe from my husband's grandmother. The first time I tried to make them, I didn't realize they were supposed to be small, like gnocchi or spaetzle, and I made them the size of golf balls - we still laugh about it! My kids can eat a whole bowl by themselves - a nice side dish with roast pork.
Ingredients:
3 peeled and grated potatoes
1 whole egg
1 pinch salt
1/2-3/4 cup flour
3 -4 pieces bacon, cut in small pieces
Directions:
1. Mix all of the above ingredients together,except bacon, adding just enough flour to make a doughy consistency.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
3. Smear potato mixture on a small saucer and flick about one inch pieces into the boiling water.
4. Start with just a few pieces - if they break apart, you need to add more flour to the mixture. If they stay together in the boiling water, cook until they float to the top, then cook another 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain well and put into a casserole.
6. Cook bacon pieces in a small frying pan until crisp, then dump grease and bacon over the top of the kluski - toss to coat.
7. Serve warm with pork and applesauce.
