KARTOFFEL KLOESSE (POTATO DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain water, and place potatoes into a large bowl. Mash potatoes, leaving them slightly lumpy (just like making mashed potatoes). Mix in the salt, eggs, flour, 2/3 cup of bread crumbs, and nutmeg. Roll into walnut sized balls. If the dough is too sticky, you may want to mix in more flour or bread crumbs.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the water. When they come up to the surface, allow them to boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, and keep warm.
• While you are waiting for the water to boil, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are tender, and the sauce has thickened some. Pour sauce over the dumplings before serving.

GERMAN BRATKARTOFFELN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Sauté the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much grease as possible in the pan, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
• In the pan with the bacon fat, sauté the onions until translucent, for about 5 minutes.
• Remove the onions from the pan, leaving behind any remaining bacon fat.
• Add the vegetable oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add the potatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté the potatoes until they begin to get a golden crust, 15-20 minutes.
• Return the bacon and cooked onions to the pan and toss gently with the potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through and golden brown.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!

POTATO SALAD - GERMAN KARTOFFEL

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Remove and discard potato skins. Slice potatoes.
• Whisk vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; add potatoes, onion, and chopped gherkin. Stir salad dressing into the mixture. Fold 3/4 the egg wedges into the mixture. Garnish with the remaining egg wedges and parsley. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

POTATO GRATIN - GERMAN KARTOFFELGRATIN

Steps:

• For this amount of gratin, a 9 inch by 13 inch, buttered pan is a good choice. Peel the potatoes and slice by hand 1/8 inch thick. Do not do this in the food processor, since they slice too thin.
• Line up the potatoes in rows across the back of the pan. Alternate slices from different potatoes in the same row, and make sure each slice has been separated from its sister slice (make sure all slices have broken contact with each other, otherwise they cannot absorb the cream). See image.
• When the pan is getting full, you can push the rows back to a vertical position and fit more potatoes into the pan.
• Fill the pan one half to two thirds with cream, pouring over the potatoes. Salt (I start with one teaspoon) and pepper. You might want to sprinkle a little marjoram on it, fresh or dried, too.
• Bake in a heated oven (375°F) for one hour, then sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until the potatoes are very tender when poked with a fork.
• Notes: The baking time varies with the type of potato, elevation where you live and how hot your oven really is. It has always taken about 90 minutes for me, yet so many cookbooks say 45 minutes, it burns me up.
• This is not a low-fat food, but it does not work very well with milk, so maybe you will make it once or twice a year as a special treat. You may also leave off the cheese, if you want.
• You may cover the casserole with foil in the middle of baking time if it is becoming too brown. Remove it before you add the cheese.
