The website is in Polish...

because highly unlikely that the recipe would be in English since it is not popular as other recipes- such as pierogies. If you really wanted to use this recipe you could have it translated into Polish by some of your students or someboy on this board.

Recipe

Fresh pork - preferably pork or shovel - wash and simmer to medium softness, adding a bay leaf and natural pepper. Decoction of the meat decoction to cook the kartacz, and meat grind together with onion and clove of garlic. Later mix and add spices to taste. Fry the prepared stuffing in a frying pan for about 10 minutes.
Peel potatoes, wash and potash. Then squeeze the potato mass and add the starch to the dough. The mass needs to be scalded with water or meat broth - so that it is not too hard. Mix the pancakes from the mixed, flexible dough and wrap them into balls of prepared meat stuffing. Throw into boiling water (broth). The time to cook the kartacz depends on their size and whether flour is added to the dough and boiled potatoes. Those from a completely raw dough and quite large size boil about 2 hours.

The dish is served with a roux (fried onion and bacon).

this is the recipe. sheesh.. there isn't much else there beside this recipe... no critical thinking skillzz eh? ;)

btw. this isn't really a PL dish but more of a lithuanian one.. so i can see it being popular in the eastern border region.

looks yummy, for sure.. might have to give these pups a try sometime in the near future. :)

this recipe may be helpful. they both describe the process of making the wrap a bit more thoroughly. the first even has pix. none of them really talk about the meat much so i guess you just throw it in there. :))

Hi Guys
I would say - It's one of the best meals I have ever eaten. My mother always prepare for special ocasions. But it's also very difficult to prepare. The biggest problem is how to prepare the potato dough so it not dissolve during boiling.

The second thing is that this recipe is quite difficult to understand even for me (polish is my native language).

This is exact translation of recipe above:

Buy a fresh pork meat (the best is porkneck or porkshoulder), wash it and boil to get a middle softness, adding laur leaf and natural pepper. Leave the water from boiling the meat for further boiling of Kartacze. Grind the meat together with onion and garlic. Then mix it together adding seasonings to taste. Fry such prepared filling on frying pan for about 10 minutes. Peel, wash and grate potatos. Squeeze potato dough (my mom uses always a clean dishcloth), collect the water with starch and put the starch back to the dough. Blanch the dough with water or meat stock not to be too tough.

Use the grinned elastic dough to form cakes and roll them around meat balls (prepared from filling). Put them into boiling water (or meat stock). Boiling time depends on the size of Kartacze and on fact if you have added flour and/or boiled potatos when preparing the dough (option - helps keeping Kartacze in one piece during boiling). Kartacze made from raw potatos ond pretty big have to be boiled for aproximately 2 hours.

Serve the dish with fried cutted onion and beacon (and fat).

I wish you good luck.

I want to try to prepare them myself once as well.
