GERMAN POTATO DUMPLINGS (KARTOFFELKLOESSE)
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.

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.

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
These moist dumplings are an extra-special way to serve potatoes. The bread centers add a comforting touch, and the potato taste really comes through. They go so well with the Beef Rouladen and gravy. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina

POTATO DUMPLINGS
Good to use with stews or soups. When I was growing up we had these with sauerbraten. I don't know why there's always a crouton in the center, there just is.
