Kopytka are a type of Polish dumpling made from mashed potatoes, flour, and eggs. Their name means "little hooves" in Polish, which refers to their shape. The dough is rolled into logs, cut into small pieces, and then boiled until they float to the surface. Kopytka are similar to Italian gnocchi and can be served in various ways, such as with butter and breadcrumbs, gravy, or as a side dish to meats and stews. They are a comforting and versatile dish in Polish cuisine.
In this version Kopytka are made of sweet potatoes, a twist to traditional flavour.
