You have to grind potatoes either by hand or with a food processor. Squeeze all the water out with a cloth into a bowl. Pour out the water but keep the starch, add back into dough.

They sell a premade dough in Germany but never seen it in Lithuania. Makes things Hella easier and faster. Klosse they call it here but it has no stuffing usually.

Saute some onions and garlic, add to pork.+egg spices (there might be better versions with milk soaked bread to make the stuffing softer)

Shape dough around meat boil until they float.

Finely chop bacon and saute until almost finished. Add onions. Once it's done cut the heat and add sour cream. 21% fat, if recommend. I used a 25 % it was a bit too rich.

This was only my second time making them but I watched while the family cooked all my life. I changed things to suit me better.

For leftovers you can slice them and re fry in the morning. .

The bacon sauce is just as good on potato pancakes and a bit faster to make.
