Traditional German Potato Dumplings
Here I am sharing my favorite German potato dumpling recipe made from cooked jacket potatoes. If you like to peel your potatoes before cooking, that's ok!
Servings 9 people
Equipment
- 1 Pressure Cooker or a different large pot to cook potatoes
Ingredients
- 1,5 kg starchy potatoes
- 300 g potato starch
- 3 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp butter room temparature
- salt
- nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and cook the potatoes until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let the steam evaporate completely.
- Take a large bowl and mash the potatoes with a potato ricer.
- Take a large pot (or the pressure cooker you used) and bring at least 3-4 liters of salty water to a boil.
- Add potato starch, salt, nutmeg, butter and egg yolks.
- Knead all well together with your hand.
- Form dumplings with your hands, tennis ball size. Repeat until you run out of batter.
- Simmer the dumplings on very low heat (I am using 2 out of 10) for 20-25 minutes in a pot without a lid! The potato dumplings are done when they swim on the surface of the water.
