Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 300 grams Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 liters Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for boiling)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature before adding the flour, egg, and salt. Knead into a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
In the meantime, prepare the sauerkraut filling. Finely chop the onion. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for 5-7 minutes, until heated through and slightly softened. Add the caraway seeds (if using) and ground black pepper. Set aside to cool.
Divide the potato dough into equal portions (about 12-14 pieces). Flatten each portion into a small disc. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the sauerkraut filling in the center of each disc.
Gently fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching to seal. Roll each dumpling gently in your hands to form a smooth ball.
Bring 3 liters of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Carefully drop the dumplings into the water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Cook the dumplings in batches if necessary. When the dumplings float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 3-4 minutes before removing them with a slotted spoon.
Serve the sauerkraut and potato dumplings hot, garnished with melted butter or sautéed onions, if desired. Enjoy!
