Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives optional
Instructions
- Start by boiling the potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Peel the potatoes and then grate them into a large bowl. You can also use a potato ricer or a food processor for a smoother texture.
- Add the flour, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs to the bowl with the grated potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and form a sticky dough.
- Now it's time to shape the Knödel. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then take a portion of the dough and shape it into a ball, about the size of a tennis ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the Knödel into the boiling water and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot, as the Knödel need space to expand.
- Once the Knödel are cooked, remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
- You can serve the Knödel as a side dish with your favorite gravy or sauce. They go particularly well with meat dishes or hearty stews.
