Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato dumplings with cabbage in Czech? The ingredients for this dish are quite simple.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place a deep frying pan on the fire and add butter. Cut the bacon into cubes and fry it along with finely chopped onion. Cut the cabbage into narrow strips, rinse it, and place in a colander to dry. Place the cabbage in the pan with the bacon and onions. To make the cabbage more juicy, you can add a little meat broth to the pan instead of water. Add cumin and salt. Leave to simmer for 40 minutes, stir.

3. STEP 3

   

   When the cabbage becomes soft, sprinkle it with flour and add sugar. Heat the vinegar over the fire, and as soon as it boils, sprinkle the cabbage with it. Mix everything well, bring to a boil and remove from the stove. Serve this cabbage with dumplings. How to cook dumplings? I'll talk about this in the next step.

4. STEP 4

   

   Dough for dumplings. Peel the potatoes, wash them, place them in boiling salted water and cook until tender for 25-30 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes while they are still hot. Mashed potatoes will be the basis for our potato dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat the egg into the mashed potatoes, add the sifted flour and add salt to taste. You can also add a knob of butter to give the dough a creamy taste. Knead everything quickly, we get a thick dough. Adjust the amount of flour as you go - you need to put enough of it so that the dough can be molded into balls.

6. STEP 6

   

   As a filling, we will need minced meat, like for cutlets. You can buy store-bought minced meat or cook it yourself. Salt and pepper it to taste, add an egg or you can do without it. The main thing is that the minced meat is viscous and not liquid. Take a small amount of puree and form it into a cake. Place a ball of minced meat in the middle of the flatbread. Pinch the edges. Use all the puree and all the mince.

7. STEP 7

   

   Deep fry the dumplings until done. Turn the heat to medium so the meat filling has time to cook. Fry all preparations.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the finished dumplings on a paper napkin to drain excess fat.
