Potato Dumplings image

The dumplings turn out even better if the potatoes are cooked, riced, and refrigerated, uncovered, a day ahead. If you have the space, since you are already making the sauerbraten a day ahead, cook and rice the potatoes then, too -- the dumplings will be even fluffier!

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 pounds small russet potatoes (about 6), scrubbed
Coarse salt
4 1/2-inch-thick slices white bread, crusts removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes by 2 inches of water in a large saucepan; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender and the tip of a knife pierces potatoes easily, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and pass potatoes through the fine holes of a ricer. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely. Potatoes can be refrigerated, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
  • Meanwhile, cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add nutmeg, flour, potato starch, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper to riced potatoes. Toss to combine. Add eggs and stir with your hands until mixture comes together. Knead about 6 times to form a dough.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Scoop 1/4 cup dough, make an indentation in the center, and place 2 croutons in it. Form dough into a ball, enclosing croutons. Repeat with remaining dough. Reserve extra croutons.
  • Working in batches, carefully drop dumplings into boiling water. (Do not crowd pot.) When dumplings float, partially cover and cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes more. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, cover with foil, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Serve warm, with reserved croutons.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my dumplings didn't turn out very well. They were too dense and they didn't have much flavor.

These dumplings were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These dumplings were a great way to use up some leftover mashed potatoes. I added some cheese and herbs to the mixture and they were delicious.
