In reply to Charlotte. Great question. In short, yes, you can. This is an older recipe and I'll update the post with instructions how to properly freeze German Potato Dumplings.

As a child, my parents would make raw potato dumplings for Sunday dinner. They would finely grate peeled raw potatoes and squeeze the water out with a dish towel, which was delicious but very laborious. I never wanted to attempt it. But your recipe looks much easier. Can’t wait to try it.

These are really special. I only added finely chopped parsley and dill to the dough. This will become part of our regular Menu.

In reply to Connie. Yes, you can use a potato masher. The potatoes won't be as fluffy as when you are using a rice mixer, but it works. One note of caution. Avoid using a mixer or blender because you'll end up with potatoes that have a rubbery consistency. Good luck and "Guten Appetit." :-)

Want to make these tonight but don’t have a potato ricer. Is there something else I can use? Thank you!

In reply to Deb.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. My dad is visiting from Germany right now. And he regularly travels a lot all over Germany. We have been chatting about German recipes. And he also says that it’s often quite amusing/interesting how much recipes can vary from region to region.
For instance, “Sauerbraten” is one of those recipes (I haven’t shared this recipe yet).
Where I grew up in West Germany, everybody eats it with raisins. My Viennese grandmother considered “Rheinischer Sauerbraten” to be some kind of food atrocity. 😂 Her Sauserbraten recipe included a 7-day soak and tons of prep. But the results were to die for.
Btw I visited several towns in Thürigen and it is beautiful. 🙂

My parents are from Thüringen, and as you said the recipe can vary depending on where in Germany. Our version is very close to this, we use the homemade croutons inside the Klöße, but no butter. I find that interesting, and thank you for sharing!

The human element of typing. 😂 I did love the recipe. Actually used corn starch cause it was what I had on hand and they were lovely! Reheated in a pot of starch thickened water and they were as good as if they were just made. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Rouladen is on my list to try of your recipes!

In reply to Kimberly. First of all, I'm glad you liked the recipe. As for the picture, thank you for letting me know. Dyslexia struck again (see bio) 😂. I'll fix it now.

Loved this recipe! They were a cinch to make and paired perfect with a bratwurst and jager gravy. Just as a side note, the picture shows 6 tblsp starchy potatoes, which was a little strange.
