Potato Dumplings (Czech Republic)

World-Bites (71) / Potato Dumplings

In-between meals, Czech people are used to eating snacks, some as quick as a sandwich, and others prepared hot as side dishes for other meals. Sandwiches usually have cheese and ham in their composition, mayonnaise, and sometimes ketchup and mustard. Fresh tomatoes or cucumbers will only be used during summertime for the making of a sandwich. Smažený sýr, basically fried cheese in bread crumbs is great as a snack, as well as Potato Dumplings (Bramborove Knedliky), that can be served as side dishes as well.
