Ingredients
- 1 ¾ pounds potatoes raw
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon pork lard or unsalted butter
Instructions
- Peel 1 ¾ pounds raw potatoes and finely grate them. Place the grated potatoes in a sieve and press them to remove the excess liquid.
- Transfer the squeezed potatoes to a bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 cups all-purpose flour, then mix until a thick dough forms.
- Using two spoons dipped in cold water, shape the mixture into small dumplings.
- Cook the dumplings in simmering salted water for about 10-15 minutes, depending on their size. They will initially stick to the bottom of the pot, so use a fork to gently lift them so they can float to the surface.
- Remove the cooked dumplings using a sieve or a slotted spoon. Place them in a bowl and brush with 1 Tablespoon pork lard. Keep them warm until ready to serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Makes about 24-30 potato dumplings (depending on their size).
- Serve the "chlupaté knedlíky" dumplings warm as a side dish, in place of classic potato dumplings.
- To ensure the cooking meets your satisfaction, first cook one "chlupatý knedlík" dumpling as a test. If it falls apart, work in additional flour. If the dumpling is too hard for your taste, add a little butter to the dough.
- Both all-purpose potatoes and those with more starch are suitable for making dumplings. Waxy potatoes are less appropriate.
