I'm making a supposed authentic recipe for Austrian Gulasch. I imagine it's Austrian (or German for that matter) because there is a little bit of vinegar in it. I will be taste testing as I go with that addition at the end.

Meanwhile, the German potato dumplings are done. I'll only have to warm a couple up when the gulasch is about done. The rest I'm in the process of freezing.

Can you please post the recipe for potato dumplings? I love potatoes and that looks like it could be my new favorite way to make potatoes.

Are the dumplings made from raw shredded or from mashed potatoes? My dad would make me sliced up leftover dumplings pan fried (and applesauce on the side ….. like fake mini kartoffelpuffer) So good

I mostly followed this video for the method. Short and sweet.

But also another one I did not save just to get quantities. Which vary from recipe to recipe anyway.

I wrote this up in Word, so it's a combination of a recipe that listed quantities, with my cutting it in half, tweaking things and notes/reminders to myself. Plus I roughly halved the ingredients from the original recipe.

German Potato Dumplings


1-1/2lb starchy potatoes like russets

Potato starch (about 1c)

Egg yolk

Butter (1/2 stick)



Peel and boil potatoes, drain and let cool (to lose moisture), or, make a slice around the equator, then boil and cool. Skin should peel off after cooled. (Go with method 2)

Rice potatoes (fluffier than mashing)

Add butter, salt and nutmeg and stir. Cutting in butter with pastry cutter works well.

Add egg yolk and flour and mix by hand after stirring again. Form into ball

Form into baseball size balls. I got 6 balls at 4.85oz

Simmer for 20 minutes. DO NOT BOIL

Done


Can be frozen cooked or uncooked. Freeze on tray and transfer to bag. Simmer til floating

Note: You might want to wait until I eat one tonight before you save this

@fldiver97 , the first time I made potato dumplings I made Polish dumplings, which were steamed. And I mashed them.

I actually bought a ricer for these, as it seems most everyone uses one because they are supposed to be fluffier than mashing.

But I don't know if that really makes a difference when you form them into a ball...
