Our german Housekeeper used to make these for lunch she called them Kartopfel Küchen. They were so wonderfully toothsome! She made them to look like potatoes !

Love it, i am probably 4th generation at this point in Baltimore. I can track us back wayyyy back. My grandma and mom and now i have been making sour ramen and potato dumplings for the last 20 years. My son is 19 and he cant wait for fall. I make it every year maybe twice… 👍🏻❤️👍🏻

Thank you (Danke sehr) for these videos. German cooking no longer gets the recognition it deserves in the US - particularly considering how many Americans have German roots. My Deutsche grandparents and parents are gone now. I am grateful for this help in passing along German cuisine to my children who, fortunately, all enjoy cooking.

The European influences from the immigrants of the last century are sadly becoming a thing of the past. The Asian cultures have taken their place, with the introduction of new customs and cuisines. Nothing wrong with these influences as they help to enhance our way of life also, but I do regret that so many from the Italian and German backgrounds have passed away.

Awesome , thank you, yours looks so good and solid, I have to try that ! They are good with homemade gravy on top too.......I am 3/4 German, we had those at home as a child, here in the U S A My parents of German background, I love German cooking.......Yum........

My Austrian Oma used to put half an apricot or plum inside the middle and then drizzle brown butter with breadcrumbs over the dumplings just before serving. Wow delicious

I lived in Munich for almost 3 years and adored these, always wanted to know how to make them myself here in sunny England. Thank you!

Yup, preferably potato starch to help em stick together a little better :) But it really depends on the kind of potato you use

I had some send( the packed one's) to Liverpool, there Iive, and made them for a friend, with gravy and pork. She nearly went insane. No she said she can't live without them any more 🤣

I dig this recipe better than the others I have seen. Mainly, because he doesn’t use flour. Flour makes it too gooey or rubbery. This method looks like the best.

Roast some bacon slice into small pieces and ad to the mixture or place in thew middle of the dumpling.. The bread based dumpling works also fine with that bacon.

One of the things I miss most since health issues have grounded me from visiting Germany is these dumplings.

Your method has intrigued me. My mom would make these for my dad on Sundays with both beef and pork roasts with the BEST gravy ever. My dad called them "sinkers"! But we would boil the potato , rice it and then make the "dough". Never used eggs though. I make them to this day and fry leftovers with bratwurst and eggs for breakfast.

The mashed potato's starch will be sticky enough to bind the mix without eggs as long as they are not overboiled.

I had no idea Germans don't mix a portion of flour in the masked pot mix. I always thought the flour will glue all together better. And this way it is like balls of mashed potatoes. i seems like it. Nothing against it, but me personally, i always mix at least handful of flour in it.

I remembered the good old days when we were young at my grand aunts house.

Looks great !! And THANKS to Ollie doing a fabolous job filming Your episodes

I've been making these for 45 yrs and they are delicious! Just make sure to wring the moisture from the potatoes VERY well or they will completely fall apart. Also frying them in butter or Olive oil (though butter is better) and salt and pepper them is very good too. I always bake pork chops or pork roast with sliced onions with it and use the juice from it to spoon over the dumplings. It's very worth it.

I use my salad spinner lined with a cotton towel and spin away.

Watching your video brought tears to my eyes as I remembered her grating the raw potatoes (by hand and squeezing the water out of them) and then mixing them with the cooked ones, adding the eggs,etc. She would butter-fry our German rye bread that she cut into cubes, on the stove, and it was my sister and my job to put two or three of these cubes into the center of each dumpling (to absorb the moister) before putting them into the hot water. I will make these dumplings and feel my mom with me!! God bless!!!

I can’t concentrate on the cooking for looking at the fine chef!

Tank you for sharing. I am going to make this for my next friendship dinner and share with my friends.

One of my favorite food in germany :D

We always put in a couple of tablespoons of either white flour or breadcrumbs in with the potatoes mixture.

German style chicken and dumplings with a dry white wine; was the best.

My Mother would make Them and used Brownd butter(slightly burnt) on them and the next day pan fried them and She would also make the Spaetzle (Spoon) Dumplings with Browned butter, that and the German style Chicken was to die for! God, I miss Her Cooking.

They can be cooked in broth as well, in fact I like them better with broth or in a soup. If you want to try an American Type look for Biscuit type has all the ingredients of a biscuit just cook in soup or Jewish type Matzo Ball.
