Potato Quark Dumplings with Poppy Seeds

Ingredients

• 250 g waxy potatoes
• 250 g quark
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 25 g flour
• 25 g semolina
• 1 egg
• 1 yolk
• 1 pinch salt
• 60 g Butter
• 6 tbsp ground poppy seeds
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• flour (for dusting)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the potatoes, cover with water and simmer for about 25 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly and peel. Pass through a press and mix with quark, sugar, flour, semolina, egg, yolk and salt into a smooth dough that no longer sticks (add more flour if needed). Cut walnut-sized pieces, dust with flour and roll between hands into small dumplings. Place side by side on the floured work surface.

2. 2.

   Bring plenty of salted water to a boil, add the potato dumplings in batches and let them sit for about 3 minutes over gentle heat. Remove, shock in cold water and drain well. Heat butter in a non-stick pan, fry the dumplings for about 2 minutes until golden yellow and fold in poppy seeds. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
