Pyzy z Miesem (Potato Dumplings with Meat)



Potato pastries are typical for Polish cuisine. Especially when it comes to utilizing potato leftovers. Even though Pyzy might seem complicated and time consuming at the first sight, in fact they are very easy to prepare. And they’re so yummy, a truly Polish cuisine flavor!



Prep time: 30 min, moderate
Cook time: 30 min

1 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon grinded nutmeg
