My husband's Bohemian mother brought a kolachke recipe with her when she came to America. So these rolls are a part of our family's heritage. Other traditional fillings are prune, poppy seed and cottage cheese. -Jan Wagner-Cuda, Deer Park, Washington

These kolachkes were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I might try using a different type of mashed potato next time.
