Thanks Betty, We eat them in a soup, but they are like little ravioli or pierogi but my mom used a thicker dough and made the "mashed potato very spicy with black pepper. I would love to have your recipe since I am still trying to make them like mom made. I do make Polish pierogi as my husband is Polish. Being we lived all over with Jerry being in the Military, I had to learn to make all these things as they weren't available to us.
