Black dumplings

  •   Media: Kluski czarne

Kluski czarne or (black dumplings), also known as kluski polskie (Polish dumplings) or kluski żelazne (iron dumplings), are a variety of dumplings popular in Silesia. In addition to minced potatoes and flour, the dough contains also potato starch, which adds to its colour.[1]

They differ from the Silesian white dumplings in that they are usually not made with mashed cooked potatoes, but with grated raw potatoes.[2][3] Both black and white dumplings are served at weddings and other traditional feasts in Silesia. According to tradition, they should be served in odd numbers.[3]
