- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (262 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

- Contains: pork
Ingredients
- 220 g Potatoes, raw
- 12 g Potato starch
- 0.4 g Salt
- 15 g Bacon
- 15 g Onion
Method
- Peel the potatoes. Boil about a quarter of them in water for 20 minutes until soft, then drain and mash them smoothly.
- Grate the rest raw on the finest side of a grater. Tip them into a cotton cloth over a bowl and squeeze out as much juice as you can. Leave the juice for 10 minutes, then pour it off carefully, keeping the white starch that settles at the bottom.
- Mix the squeezed raw potato with the mashed potato, the settled starch, the potato starch and the salt, and knead into a smooth dough that holds together.
- Shape it into balls the size of a walnut, flatten them slightly and press a dimple into each with your thumb.
- Cook them in a large pot of gently boiling water for 6-8 minutes after they rise to the surface. They turn greyish, which gives them their name.
- Meanwhile fry the diced bacon for 5 minutes until crisp, add the chopped onion and fry for 4 minutes until golden.
- Lift the dumplings out with a slotted spoon and serve them with the bacon and onion spooned over, or with the gravy of a roast.
