German for potato dumplings are a delicious addition to any German meal.
These soft, warm dumplings coated in browned butter and topped with not bacon, but something even better, are the newest German import to my potato side dish collection. Just give it a shot to see what it’s all about. To get the finest results, roast the potatoes instead of boiling them until they’re nice and dry. Yes, these dumplings can be topped with bacon and/or sautéed onions and mushroom sauce. My dish had pork and red cabbage.
German Potato Dumplings remind me of my childhood Sunday dinners. Her recipe makes a typical dumpling with boiled potatoes that works well with practically any meat and gravy.
It was her go-to side dish, which she served practically every dinner. It’s authentic German cuisine at its finest!
The best part was if there were any leftovers. The next day, cut and fried in melted butter, they were delicious. Memories! Served simply or with leftover gravy.
Even if you’re in a rush, try not to skip the butter-fried bread croutons in the middle of these dumplings.
What are the best potatoes to use for Dumplings?
The following potatoes are ideal for potato dumplings:
Russets, a starchy baking potato called Yukon Gold (my personal favorite), and an all-purpose potato called russets.
