Knephleas (Potatoes, Dumplings and Cheese) image

I got this recipe years ago from a coworker, who got it from her German grandmother. It's a tasty German, meatless dish.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler knephleas recipe next time.

These dumplings were a bit too dense for my taste, but the cheese sauce was delicious.
