When it comes to veggies, red cabbage salad or shredded beets salad are the best to have with kluski slaskie.

In the fridge for up to 3 days.

In the freezer for up to 6 months. When you want to cook your frozen Silesian potato dumplings, don’t defrost them but throw them to the boiling hot water while they are still frozen.
