Greater Poland grey dumplings made from a mix of raw grated potato and boiled mashed potato, finished with cracklings and onion. Heavier and chewier than other Polish dumplings.
Szare kluski (literally 'grey dumplings') take their name from the slightly grey colour of the raw-potato starch. The dialect dish belongs to the Wielkopolska peasant table, eaten across the Poznań countryside since the 19th century when potatoes settled into the regional staple. They appear on Modra Kuchnia and Hyćka chalkboards as the regional comfort food, often served alongside duck or kotlet schabowy with red cabbage.
