POTATO DUMPLINGS



Potato Dumplings image

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!

Provided by M. G.

Categories     Healthy

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!

GERMAN POTATO DUMPLINGS (KARTOFFELKLOESSE)



German Potato Dumplings (Kartoffelkloesse) image

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large russet potatoes
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups fresh bread cubes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives, or to taste

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.

POTATO DUMPLINGS



Potato Dumplings image

The dumplings turn out even better if the potatoes are cooked, riced, and refrigerated, uncovered, a day ahead. If you have the space, since you are already making the sauerbraten a day ahead, cook and rice the potatoes then, too -- the dumplings will be even fluffier!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 pounds small russet potatoes (about 6), scrubbed
Coarse salt
4 1/2-inch-thick slices white bread, crusts removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes by 2 inches of water in a large saucepan; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender and the tip of a knife pierces potatoes easily, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and pass potatoes through the fine holes of a ricer. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely. Potatoes can be refrigerated, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
  • Meanwhile, cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add nutmeg, flour, potato starch, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper to riced potatoes. Toss to combine. Add eggs and stir with your hands until mixture comes together. Knead about 6 times to form a dough.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Scoop 1/4 cup dough, make an indentation in the center, and place 2 croutons in it. Form dough into a ball, enclosing croutons. Repeat with remaining dough. Reserve extra croutons.
  • Working in batches, carefully drop dumplings into boiling water. (Do not crowd pot.) When dumplings float, partially cover and cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes more. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, cover with foil, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Serve warm, with reserved croutons.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (20 dumplings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons salted butter
3 sprigs thyme, leaves removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced thinly
Kosher salt
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar
1/4 cup sour cream
20 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Add the potatoes, cheese and sour cream to a small bowl and mix, then set aside.
  • Working one at a time, lay out a wonton wrapper and use your finger to dampen the edge of the wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mix in the center of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, sealing the edges and pushing out as much air as possible. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Drop the dumplings into the salted water and cook until they rise to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the dumplings are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, allowing it to boil and reduce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and remaining 5 tablespoons butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and you have a glossy sauce. Serve immediately garnished with more parsley.

POTATO DUMPLINGS



Potato Dumplings image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 - 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boiling potatoes
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup white flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 quarts water
3 tablespoons melted butter, if desired, or 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, lightly sauteed in 3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until tender, and when they are cool enough to handle, peel them and put them through a ricer.
  • While potatoes are cooking, saute the onion and celery in the butter over medium-low heat until tender and translucent but not browned. Add to riced potatoes and mix well.
  • Add bread crumbs and flour to potatoes. Lightly beat the eggs, and add, with salt, to potatoes. Mix together very well, using your hands.
  • When ready to cook, form the mixture into 2-inch balls, dipping your hands in cool water before working the sticky mixture.
  • Bring water to a rolling boil. Add a tablespoon of salt, if desired. Drop the balls, one by one, into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface. Do not try to poach too many at once: 6 or so should be enough to handle at one time. When they float, remove from water with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels, and serve in a warm bowl with butter drizzled over, if desired, or topped with the sauteed bread crumbs.
