Ingredients

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	egg
2	tablespoons	butter	(30 grams)
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	black pepper	to taste

Directions

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.

Reviews

Great to find this German recipe here! Well, what I did wrong is to boil them too violently, as my first test-dumpling was kind of dry inside. So in that case I would recomment to rather boil them 5 minutes longer but not more violently. They kind of fall apart when boiled too violently. For dumpling-newbies I would recommend to take the time and prepare just one test-dumpling of the dough before strting with all of it.

Chicken Fondue in Ginger Broth

This is a great recipe! I served it as a main dish rather than an appetizer and everyone loved it. I was worried the chicken would be bland, but it was very flavorful and light. So many meat fondue recipes use alot of oil so it was great to find such a healthy recipe. The veggies were great too.
