Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 15 grams Fresh dill
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
1. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth in a large bowl.
3. Add the flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix together until a soft, pliable dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
4. Divide the dough into manageable portions and roll each one into long ropes, about 1 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into small 1.5 cm pieces to form the potato pasta.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potato pasta in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
6. In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Add the chopped dill, parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Add the cooked potato pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the herb sauce.
9. Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped herbs if desired. Enjoy your traditional Kazakh-inspired dish!
