German Potato Dumplings
From crabhappychick 15 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 6
These are the potato dumplings I used to make to go with sauerbraten until I found the mix is just as good.
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, medium shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup flour shopping list
How to make it
- Boil potatoes in jackets. Peel when cool and grate or rice them. Add eggs, salt & flour. Beat the batter with a fork until fluffy. Chill. Roll lightly into balls 1" in diameter and drop gently into gently boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Drain well.
- When you are rolling them dampen your hands with warm water and then they won't be sticky.
- NOTE 1: My grandmother used to put croutons in the center of each dumpling and form the dumpling around it. My family prefers them just this way. To make it easy, I drizzle a little melted butter over large store-bought croutons and just use those. Any flavor you like.
- NOTE 2: Leftover dumplings are even better the next day sliced and fried in butter on each side. Serve with leftover sauerbraten and gravy!
