Knedliky (Potato Dumplings) from Czech Republic
It's super fun to make these traditional dumplings made from potatoes, eggs, and flour. They go perfectly with hearty meats and stews.
- 2 pounds potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold are best)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (coarse or semi-coarse is best)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
Boil the potatoes with skin on until they are soft. Let cool before peeling. This can be done the night before.
Peel potatoes and grate them into a large bowl.
Make an empty circle in the center of the grated potatoes. Crack the two eggs into the center.
Add flour and salt to the mixture and gently knead with your hands.
Add flour as needed.
After kneading the dough, divide it into two.
Roll by hand into two large cylinders or logs.
Carefully place logs into a pot of gently boiling water.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Remove logs carefully with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.
Cut logs into 1/2 inch slices and serve slices with a dish like roasted duck and a beer to wash it down.
