1. Farmer’s Cheese Kopytka & Buttered Silesian Dumplings from Our Kitchen
Great Polish potato dumplings require a delicate touch, which is why our Pasztecik NYC kitchen (https://paszteciknyc.com/) crafts them in small batches daily. Our Potato Kopytka stand out because we fold real cultured farmer’s cheese (twaróg) and whole eggs into the mashed potato dough—giving every diamond-cut dumpling a tender, creamy bite that shines under mushroom gravy or pan-seared in butter.
Our Silesian Dumplings (Kluski Śląskie) are made from riced potatoes, potato starch, and sweet creamery butter, shaped with the classic thumbprint indent designed to cradle rich sauces like our slow-braised Veal with Vegetables.
2. Pork Aspic (Zimne Nóżki), Poultry Galareta & Iconic Polish Vegetable Salad
Simmering authentic Polish meat jelly takes hours of patient skimming, so our kitchen does the work for you. We prepare both rich Pork Aspic (Zimne Nóżki) and delicate Poultry Aspic (Galaretka Drobiowa) studded with tender meat and sweet vegetables—ready to serve cold with a splash of vinegar or freshly grated horseradish.
Right beside our aspics at Beata Deli (234 Rockaway Avenue, Valley Stream), you will find freshly diced batches of Poland’s most famous party side: Sałatka Jarzynowa (Polish Vegetable Salad with root vegetables, peas, eggs, and mayo).
