Ingredients

  • 220 g Potatoes, raw
  • 12 g Potato starch
  • 0.4 g Salt
  • 15 g Bacon
  • 15 g Onion

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes. Boil about a quarter of them in water for 20 minutes until soft, then drain and mash them smoothly.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Shape it into balls the size of a walnut, flatten them slightly and press a dimple into each with your thumb.
  5. 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.
  6. Meanwhile fry the diced bacon for 5 minutes until crisp, add the chopped onion and fry for 4 minutes until golden.
  7. 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.
