Methods of cooking Klopsiki?

Hello,is baking in klopsiki a must? Can I just pan fry it? Thank you

I usually fry them and have seen others do that. Remember that good klopsiki should be quite moist and in Poland they are fried at a fairly low temperature most often in solid fat. They should be paler in colour than, say, Italian meatballs.

In the oven, they could easily dry out unless well covered.

I used to fry them but now only boil them in water (with some oat meals or bread to added to keep moisture). Boiled klopsy are much easier to digest than fried, but it comes with age I guess. For sure, fried taste better.

Nah! Klopsy should always be baked in the oven and then served with Potatoes or sauerkraut or pasta or Bread and ogorki..... whatever!!!!!

Is that "Königsberger Klopse"???? 😋

Very similar.I am sure most Poles would enjoy the German version as well!

In my family there is no tradition of eating meatballs. Strange. Probably we are still haunted by the memory of communist meatballs served in restaurants or bars whose meat content was very low. I ate klopsiki only once in my life and it was during the previous system. Never again.

Here, cooked in cheese dill sauce.

More low calorie Polish food.
Fried Klopsiki in mushrooms, sour cream, heavy cream, milk, egg, garlic and Parmesan cheese sauce.
And then pour over pasta.

I'm not sure if that's a low calorie food, especially with cream, but it looks tasty. Poles prefer potatoes with that.

It has nothing to do with Polish cuisine.

I see Dziugas cheese, a good alternative to Parmesan, used a lot in restaurants in Warsaw now.

With klopsiki (I did some last week) grated cheddar is a better option. Not traditional either (like grated onion, used in Ukraine but not Poland) however both improve them.
