Another recipe to share from my Polish friends Marta & Marek. These are really good but they do take time to prepare. It goes faster with 2 people; 1 to roll and 1 to stuff. Make sure you cook plenty because you’ll just keep popping them in your mouth! Delicious! 8 cups flour 4 eggs [...]

No British cook am I, however I had to try, then of course tweak a bubble & squeak recipe I stumbled upon. Odd, but good. Personally, serving with good old American waffles on the side is divine. Try it and see. About 6 potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks 1 pound Kielbasa chopped into coins [...]
