Good to use with stews or soups. When I was growing up we had these with sauerbraten. I don't know why there's always a crouton in the center, there just is.

POTATO DUMPLINGS

My Dad always made this family recipe when I was growing up. I'm sure he'll be proud to see I like it enough to share! These are the REAL thing!.......original German potato dumplings!

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 cups peeled shredded potatoes or 10 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel 10-12 medium potatoes (about 7 cups).
  • In a large bowl, shred potatoes. I have a 7 cup food processor and it makes the job really quick. Otherwise, a hand grater is all you need.
  • In a separate small bowl -- mix the eggs and salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the shredded potatoes and using your hands, mix well.
  • Gradually add in the flour, again using your hands. This is very heavy and gooey and is usually too much work for your mixer or it's blades.
  • Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil.
  • Using a generous amount of flour on your hands, scoop a handful of the potato mixture into your hands and form into a ball. Place each dumpling on a cookie sheet for an easy transfer to the boiling water. (Recipe makes 10-12 baseball sized dumplings.).
  • Once water reaches a rolling boil, gently add each dumpling and continue to boil until the dumplings float.
  • Remove the dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon or strainer spoon and place in serving dish. Best served hot with gravy or sauerkraut.
  • Dumplings also make one of the best leftover breakfast items ever! Chop into bite sized pieces and saute with butter and garlic salt to put a crowd pleasing twist on traditional hashbrowns!

Tips

  • Use the right potatoes: A good all-purpose potato like russet or Yukon Gold will work well for these potato cakes. Potatoes with a high starch content, like Russet potatoes, will produce a crispier potato cake, while potatoes with a lower starch content, like Yukon Gold potatoes, will produce a softer potato cake.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the potato cakes hold together better and give them a more uniform texture.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the potatoes: This will help prevent the potato cakes from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality flour: All-purpose flour will work fine, but a bread flour or a high-gluten flour will produce a chewier potato cake.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overworking the dough will make the potato cakes tough.
  • Fry the potato cakes in hot oil: This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the potato cakes hot: They are best when served fresh out of the fryer.

Conclusion

These potato cakes are a delicious and versatile dish. They can be served as a main course, a side dish, or an appetizer. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these potato cakes at home.
