Find traditional Czech and Slovak Side Recipes from Tom the Chef. Learn to make authentic bread dumplings (knedlĂ­ky), braised cabbage, and potato salads.

That's an excellent question about our Czech and Slovak Side Recipes! Tom the Chef explains that bread dumplings (houskové knedlíky) are made with a yeast dough and bread cubes, resulting in a light, fluffy texture that's perfect for soaking up rich, creamy sauces like svíčková. Potato dumplings (bramborové knedlíky) are made from cooked potatoes, giving them a denser texture and more savory flavor. They are the traditional and ideal pairing for roasted meats like duck or goose, especially when served with braised cabbage.
