Kartoffelknoedel (Potato Dumplings)
- 1/2 pound potatoes that have previously been boiled in their jackets, then let cool, and peeled (200 grams)
- 1 ounce bread crumbs plain, (30 grams)
- 1 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter (30 grams)
- 1 x salt to taste
- 1 x black pepper to taste
- This refers to dumplings made from boiled potatoes which is the traditional Swabian method.
- Dumplings made from raw potatoes originated in Bavaria and reached Swabian kitchens relatively late.
- Beat the butter and egg until fluffy.
- Add the cold, grated, boiled potatoes, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper, and knead well.
- Depending on how watery the potatoes are, flour may be substituted for the bread crumbs in order to get a dough that is neither too firm not to pasty.
- Form dumplings, and cook in barely simmering salted water for 15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, while still piping hot.
- These dumplings are also very popular as a main dish, with brown gravy.
