Norwegian Potato Dumplings (Komle)
Hi guys.
Here's a recipe for Norwegian Potato Dumplings. This is the more basic recipe for it, as there's at least two more versions of it (one with meat inside the dumpling, and one which contains blood). There's also at least 5 names for this dish, depends on where in Norway you are. I also used several meat tags basically due to the fact that it's often served with sausages and lightly salted lamb meat.
This particular recipe is btw "borrowed" from this site; www.norway-hei.com/potato-dumplings.html
Norwegian Potato Dumplings (Komle)
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded raw potatoes
2 cups cold boiled potatoes ground or mashed
1 tablespoon finely minced chives
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Place in large mixing bowl and gradually add
2 cups oatmeal
2 cups unbleached flour
Preparation:
Place all ingredients in large
mixing bowl except flour and oatmeal.
Add flour and oatmeal gradually
This will make a medium soft batter.
Pour water into soup kettle and boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Form a round ball by using a tablespoon and your hand. Fill a glass of cold water for dipping your spoon into between forming each one.
Place them gently into softly boiling water. When all are in the water, simmer for 30-35 minutes. You may stir carefully with a long wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Serving ideas.
The potato dumplings taste great with beef, pork or lamb roasts, ham, sausage, chicken or boiled dinners.
Saute leftovers in butter with onions. Serve with bacon or sausage - delicious.
