GERMAN POTATO DUMPLINGS (KARTOFFELKLOESSE)
The latest German import to my potato side dish collection are these soft, comforting dumplings drizzled in browned butter and topped with, sorry, not bacon, but something even better! Just try it to find out what it is. For best results, roast, don't boil, the potatoes so they're nice and dry. Yes, you can top these dumplings with bacon anyway, and/or sautéed onions and mushroom sauce. I served mine with sausage and red cabbage.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool until easily handled.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add bread cubes; cook and stir until golden brown and crunchy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer bread to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Reserve the browned butter in the pan.
- Peel potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Mash and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Stir in eggs and mash until combined. Add flour; stir just until flour disappears. Do not overmix dough.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer. Dampen hands with water and scoop a spoonful of the dough onto your palm. Shape into a circle, make a light indentation in the center, and place 2 or 3 croutons inside. Roll into a smooth ball, sealing in the croutons. Repeat with remaining dough and croutons.
- Use a large spoon to lower dumplings into the simmering water, one at a time. Cook until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until set, flipping dumplings over halfway, until 20 minutes.
- Place dumplings on a serving plate. Drizzle with reserved browned butter. Crumble remaining croutons on top and garnish with chives. Let dumplings firm up slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.

KARTOFFELKLOESSE (GERMAN POTATO DUMPLINGS)
Just what the name implies - these are German-style potato dumplings, as found everywhere in the South of Germany, Austria and Bohemia. These are traditionally served with any roast with gravy, but most well-known as an accompaniment for a hearty Sauerbraten and red cabbage. Like polenta, second-day leftovers are a treat when sliced into slabs and fried in butter.

Steps:
- 1. Put the diced up bread in a bowl. Bring the milk to a boil and pour over the bread. Cover with foil or if you are using a pan, put the lid over the pan for 1 hour.
- 2. Beat the two eggs together in a cup. Add to the bread mixture after the hour is up and also now add the tablespoon of flour and the teaspoon of salt and mix all together. If mixture is too soft, add some breadcrumbs.
- 3. Shape the bread into balls about the size of your palm or about the size of a baseball and drop each ball into a pan of simmering salted water (I just add 1 teas of salt to the water) Put the lid on and leave covered for 20 minutes as it continues to simmer. NEVER LIFT THE LID during the cooking time.
- 4. Take dumplings out of the water and serve with your favorite gravy over them. This will make 6 or 7 dumplings.

Steps:
- To make 12 dumplings.
- Pour the lukewarm water into a small bowl and sprinkle it with the yeast and sugar.
- Let it stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir to dissolve the yeast and sugar completely.
- Set in a warm, draft free place (such as a turned-off oven with pilot light on) for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture almost doubles in volume.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg with a large spoon until it is smooth and well mixed.
- Beat in the 4 tablespoons of melted butter, and the warm milk, salt, nutmeg and yeast solution.
- Then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix with the spoon or your hands until the dough is firm enough to be gathered into a compact ball.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it by pushing it down with the heels of your hands, pressing it forward and folding it back on itself.
- Repeat this procedure for about 10 minutes, lightly flouring the surface from time to time to prevent the dough from sticking.
- when the dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a bowl coated with 1 teaspoon of soft butter, drape it with a towel and let it rise in a warm draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in bulk.
- Then punch the dough down with a sharp blow of your first and knead it again for 3 or 4 minutes.
- Flour your hands lightly, pinch off pieces of the dough and shape them into 12 balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Lay the dumplings on a floured board and allow them to rise again until doubled.
- Spread a damp kitchen towel over a rack set in a large roasting pan and on it arrange the dumplings about 2 inches apart.
- Add enough water to the pan to come to within 1 inch of the rack.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, cover tightly, and reduce the heat to moderate.
- Steam the dumplings undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
- Serve as hot as possible on a large, heated platter.
- Traditionally the dumplings are served with meats, or stewed fruit compote.
- The Cooking of Germany Time Life.
- An alternate way to cook the dumplings is to bring a large covered kettle of water to boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and drop in as many dumplings as will fit without crowding.
- When they rise to float on the top, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a platter and serve.
- My German family eats them by tearing them open with two forks, then pouring in melted butter and sprinkling with coarse white sugar.

Steps:
- In a large casserole or stew pot, melt the butter over medium high heat.
- Once it has stopped sizzling, brown the chicken, gizzards (if they are included), and chopped onion until golden, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the chicken pieces and turn them to absorb the flour.
- Add the celeriac, parsley roots, carrots, whole white onions, peppercorns, and bay leaf.
- Cover with the boiling water, and bring to just below a boil.
- Reduce the heat to very low, using a diffuser if necessary, and simmer until the meat is nearly falling off the bone and the vegetables are tender, about 2 hours.
- At no time should the broth ever boil, otherwise the chicken will be tough.
- Add the peas and cook for 10 more minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the lemon juice.
- While the stew is simmering, prepare the dumplings.
- Drop the dough by the tablespoon on top of the stewing chicken, making sure the balls don't sink into the gravy.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes without looking.
- Serve immediately.
- Makes 6 servings.
- TO MAKE THE DUMPLINGS: Stir together the eggs, flour, vegetable oil, salt and caraway seeds.
- NOTE: Celeriac and Parsley Root are wonderful vegetables for a stew.
- Both, though, are big, bulbous, root-like vegetables with lots of ugly, hairy-looking rootlets coming off the central portion.
- The best celeriac is that of medium size, without secondary corms, and with a modest clump of leaves.
- Peel celeriac before using.
- Parsley root is grown specifically for large roots.
- The texture and density of the root are similar to those of celeriac.
- They store well.
- Peel parsley root before using.

Steps:
- FOR NOODLES: Put cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. In a small saute pan, saute onions, celery until tender, let cool. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs and whisk in melted butter, onions, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over the bread. Mix and mash with your hands until every single cube of bread is evenly moist. Remove any pieces that are still dry. You might want to add a little chicken stock to ensure bread is moistened. Form into tightly-packed billiards-sized balls. They'll plump up to the size of tennis balls while cooking. Cover with a clean towel and let sit for 1 hour Fill a pot (large enough to accommodate the number of balls you plan to make) about 1/2 way to 2/3 with water and chicken stock bring to boil. Using a spoon, set dumplings into the boiling water. Once they're all in, let cook for 20 minutes. If making a double or quadruple batch, let cook for 30 minutes. Remove from water with slotted spoon and place on a serving dish Drain off excess water before serving. Another meal idea: Drop one in a bowl of chicken broth for a delicious Semmelknoedelsuppe similar to Jewish matzo ball soup. ☕ FOR SOUP: Melt the butter on medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or stew pot then brown the meat in batches. Transfer meat to a dish and set aside. Saute diced onion in the same pot until it begins to caramelize. Stir in paprika and cook for a minute or two. Add wine and meat. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is gone. Add water just to cover meat. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer over very low heat for 90 minutes. For a thicker gravy: Corn starch slurry = 2 heaping tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 cup cold water. Stir into boiling sauce at the very end of cooking. Turn down to simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve over semmelknoedel (German bread dumplings), egg noodles such as Reames, salzkartoffeln

Steps:
- Scrub and rinse the potatoes well and place in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring the unpeeled potatoes to the boil, add salt and simmer the potatoes for around 35 minutes or until they are just tender. Drain the potatoes and cool them slightly -just enough so that you can handle them. You should now be able to peel the skins away from the flesh of the potatoes with your bare hands. Once all the potatoes are peeled, cut them into even-sized pieces and refrigerate until cold. The potatoes can be prepared the previous day, if desired. Mash the potatoes with a fork or mashing tool in a large bowl. Mix in the salt and freshly grated nutmeg. Add half a cup of flour and mix to combine. With your hands knead the mixture in the bowl until a smooth soft dough forms, add more flour by the tablespoon if the dough remains sticky. Combine one beaten egg with the mixture. Form the mixture into smooth round balls using ¼ of a cup of dough for each ball. At this stage you may wish to insert acrouton, prune or other filling into each dumpling. Croutons are traditionally used to soak up any extra moisture inside the Kartoffelkloesse. Stoned prunes are a common filling when accompanying a Roast Goose at Christmas. A small spoonful of cooked, flavoured ground beef / mince is also a tasty alternative. Seal the filling closed inside each of the Kartoffelklösse. In a large saucepan of salted simmering water, almost boiling, poach the completed dumplings in batches of 4 to 5. Do not place more than 4 to 5 dumplings in the pot at any one time - to prevent them from sticking together or touching during cooking, which could cause them to fall apart! Cook the dumplings for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dumplings rise to the surface. Remove and drain each of the Kartoffelklösse with a slotted spoon into a serving dish. Keep the dish covered to conserve heat while the remaining dumplings are cooked. (Serves 4 to 6)
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best results. These potatoes will hold their shape better and create a fluffy dumpling.
- Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the dumplings to be light and airy.
- Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
- Bring the water to a rapid boil before adding the dumplings: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Do not overcrowd the pot: Add the dumplings in batches so that they have enough room to cook.
- Cook the dumplings until they float to the top: This is a sign that they are cooked through.
- Serve the dumplings immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
German dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a main course, side dish, or even dessert. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a German dumpling recipe that everyone will enjoy. These dumplings are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
