Ingredients

  • 800 g potatoes
  • 2 Eggs
  • 150 g flour
  • 80 g clarified butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Nutmeg (freshly grated)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the potatoes, cover with salted water and cook for about 30 minutes until tender. Peel while hot and press through a potato ricer. Let steam off, then add eggs and flour and mix into a smooth dough, seasoning with nutmeg, salt and pepper. With floured hands shape finger‑thick, thumb‑long rolls with tapered ends.

  2. 2.

    Place the dumplings in plenty of simmering salted water and let them cook on low heat for about 2 minutes; remove, plunge into cold water, then drain well on a sieve.

  3. 3.

    If using fully cooked potatoes, the dumplings do not need to be pre‑cooked and can be fried directly in clarified butter until golden yellow.

  4. 4.

    Heat clarified butter in a pan and fry the dumplings in batches until they are golden brown.
