Robber's Dumplings

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes
• 1 pcs eggs
• salt (a little)
• breadcrumbs (roasted) (as needed)

Instructions

1. The evening before, peel 1 kg of rather large, starchy potatoes, wash them well, and grate them into cold water.
2. Carefully replace the water twice.
3. Then drain the water, place the potatoes in a cloth, and squeeze them dry.
4. Let the squeezed water stand until the starch has settled, then drain.
5. Add the starch to the broken-up potato mass, stir in 1-2 eggs and the necessary salt, and mix in roasted breadcrumbs.
6. For shaping and cooking the dumplings, refer to Thuringian Potato Dumplings.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
