Declared allergens: wheat/gluten grain (verify labels and individual medical needs)
Cool promptly in shallow containers, refrigerate within two hours, keep no longer than the recipe's stated period or USDA's 3–4 day ceiling (whichever is shorter), and reheat leftovers to 165°F/74°C when reheating is appropriate.

Polish kitchen
Polish prażuchy are boiled potatoes thickened with flour, beaten until cohesive and served with browned onions.
Cook onions in oil over medium-low heat for 18–20 minutes until deeply golden.
Cover potatoes with salted water and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Pour off all but ½ cup water.
Sprinkle flour evenly over potatoes, cover and cook over very low heat for 5 minutes without stirring.
Beat potatoes and flour vigorously until cohesive, adding reserved water if needed. Spoon into bowls and top with onions.
Review ingredient labels for allergens and cross-contact. Follow the recipe’s handling notes, refrigerate perishable food promptly, and use an instant-read thermometer where a safe internal temperature is specified.
