Kluski Śląskie (Potato Dumplings)


Ingredients:
  • approx. 500 g (1lb) of boiled potatoes
  • potato flour / potato starch
  • 1 egg
  • salt

Instructions:
  • Peel, boil, strain the potatoes and immediately thoroughly crush them with a press or grind in a food processor. Cool and evaporate thoroughly.
  • Put the potatoes on a plate and pat. 
  • Carve 1/4 of the potatoes, remove this part and set aside. 
  • Pour potato flour into the free space in the same amount as removed potatoes.
  • Add egg and potatoes with parts that were set aside
  • Add salt and combine ingredients into a smooth dough. If necessary, add additional potato flour. Form a ball from dough.
  • Peel a piece of dough the size of a larger walnut and form a ball in your hands. 
  • With the tip of a wooden spoon or finger make a small hole in the middle. Set the dumplings aside.
  • Boil salted water in a large pot. 
  • Cook the first batch (half) of the small balls as follows: 
    • reduce the heat under the pot to a minimum and put them on. 
    • Keep them in hot water on minimum heat for about 10-12 minutes, occasionally stir gently. 
    • Water cannot boil - thanks to this, the dumplings will have a smooth, not jagged surface.
    • Pick them out with a slotted spoon on a plate. Repeat with the other half of the dumplings.

Enjoy your dumplings!
