Knedle

• 500 grams potatoes
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 400 grams plums
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 50 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Method

1. 1

   Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, flour, beaten egg, and salt until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add more flour as needed.

3. 3

   Take a small piece of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a half of a pitted plum in the center and sprinkle with sugar. Fold the dough around the plum to form a ball.

4. 4

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the knedle into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Once cooked, remove the knedle with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.

6. 6

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter and toss the knedle in the melted butter and breadcrumbs for added flavor.

7. 7

   Serve warm, optionally drizzled with more melted butter and sprinkled with extra sugar.
