Traditionally a knedle is a Polish dish, although many countries have their own versions of potato dumplings. They are similar to pierogi, but with a sweet fruit filling instead of a savory one like pierogi uses. Knedles are made from a potato dough and can be filled with a variety of different fruits, although the most popular version is filled with whole plums and called knedle sa sljivama.
To make potato dough for a knife, the potatoes must be peeled, boiled and mashed or finely ground. Then egg, oil and a little salt are mixed thoroughly. Subsequently, the flour is gradually added until a dough with a firm consistency is formed. The dough is usually wrapped around the fruit filling, most often whole plums.
If the knuckles are full of prunes, they are usually pitted by cutting them in half and removing the pit. Often a teaspoon of sugar is placed in the cavity where the pit was. Then the prunes are wrapped in a layer of potato dough. The dumplings are dropped into boiling water to cook; they are boiled for a while after they start to float and until the fruit softens.
Knedles are usually served hot and can be topped with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar or cinnamon. They can also be covered with crumb topping or served with a sweet cream sauce.

In Poland, a hazelnut is a popular dish in autumn when plums are in season. Knedles are prepared using alternative fruit in other seasons.

They should stay frozen for a while, can be boiled without thawing first, and can be eaten throughout the winter and spring.
