Yes, when I made potato dumplings they were shaped like rectangles about 3 to 4 inches long. The next day, you slice the dumplings and fry them in a pan with some butter.

Here is my cabbage recipe that my family realy like.Enjoy!

if you like.)Cook til doneness is to your liking.

Hope you enjoy. I serve this with hot buttered
cornbread muffins. Yummy

I don't think I could wait until the next day!

Don't you boil them first? I always thought dumplings were either boiled or steamed. No?

We make fried potato patties from leftover mashed potatoes, but we don't call them dumplings. I find it fascinating that so many people make so many different things from the same basic ingredient!

Sounds yummy

In Polish this is Haluski. There are quite a few recipes for it on the Internet. Saw one with bacon in it too.
