      First nice try. 99% of germany people will not use flour in the kartoffelklöße. we make kartoffelklöße half and half with raw grated potato and pressed cooked potato and we add a little bit of starch and eggs+ normaly you press the cooked potatos super hot and let all the steam evaporate so the klöße get more firmly and chewy. the bread was added in old times to give a extra flavor because they would use sourdough bread + if you add the bread in the middle the klöße will cook more evenly. there are reagions klöße will get filled with bacon and onions in the middle but today people dont fill them at all because its extra work :-/ kartoffelklöße would be eaten with braised meat and sauce + a wintervegtable .

      Does gluten-free flour work in this recipe?

    • @Darkmatterdwarf
      @Darkmatterdwarf 4 роки тому +7

      @@skysera Hello, like it is written a little bit higher up, you can skip the flour completely if you need/want to evade gluten. use half of the cooked potatoes and the other half raw (and grated). You might want to press the raw stuff in a fine cloth to get rid of some moisture to keep everything together (the trick with mashing the cooked part very hot and let them steam of also helps in that regard). Then you just need to use the right bread to get rid of the last gluten. I suggest something strong and rustic like rye
      sourdough bread. The raw potatoes give a more interesting texture, but i like that more than the ones shown here. One final tip, just make more than you need, pop the rest in the fridge to firm up even more overnight and the nbext day: Slice -> eggwash -> panko-crumps -> pan till golden brown. Leftover cleanup doesn't get any better. Greetings from Germany

      Food Wishes well done :-) this recipe is one kind of making dumplings/Klöße or Knödel. In bavaria we use raw and cooked potatoes no eggs and a little potatoe starch. The bread in the middle gurantees that they cook evenly. By the way they turn by them selves when they are cook. We call it „dancing“ :-)

  • @durchschnitte
    @durchschnitte 5 років тому +2335

    German here! I think the croutons in the middle are supposed to help the Klöße cook more evenly. But not everyone puts them in, I have eaten many without bread cubes, so basically it's just for fun and different textures :)
    Also the Klöße I know are more springy, they have a very fluffy and almost chewy texture. But as you can imagine, there are many varieties of Klöße, some are even made from stale bread instead of potatoes (Semmelknödel). The ones I grew up with are called "half and half" and use cooked and raw potato in equal parts. They are my arch nemesis in the kitchen, I can never get them right, it seems only grandmas with wrinkly hands and a heavy dialect are able to make them. I recently had an almost-meltdown when I failed again and my dumplings came out doughy and mushy... my German heart was bleeding.
    So I was really excited to see your take on it, Chef John, nice job pronouncing Kartoffelklöße :)

    • @kitingmare
      @kitingmare 5 років тому +47

      Yes, another German here. I suspect the bread cubes have a similar function as the holes in Bagels or Doughnuts. Plus they absorb some of the moisture and help the Knödel cook more evenly. Also, I much prefer Semmelknödel or Ritschiknödel (half potato, half bread) over pure potato ones.

    bread cubes: theese are added inside "halb und halb" or "green" klöße which are half or fully made of uncooked potatos. this kind might not cook all the way through to the center in the water bath, so they are stuffed with bread to avoid an uncooked core of the klöße^^ i learned that from my granny

    I grew up helping Oma make klöße on holidays. She made the "long" version with raw and cooked potatoes. She always had to double the croutons because she knew I would eat half of them. No eggs or wheat flour here. Only potatoes, salt, potato starch and croutons. She would use 10# potatoes for our dinners. There were only 5 of us total, and her klöße were the size of softballs. Not kidding. We would also have turkey or roladen with gravy and red cabbage or würßing. She has been gone now 13 years, she would be proud to know I still make these once a year. I am going to try this version though, intrigued with the seasoning and especially the brown butter and crumbled crouton topping. And I will meditate as I watch the butter melt. Brilliant.

      Personally, I prefer potato starch too. Also only egg yolks for me instead of whole eggs (whole eggs make them bouncier, but I prefer them with only egg yolks as they will be so tender they retain their shape but almost feel like mashed potatoes on your tongue :D). BUT! I never stuffed mine so far so I think the sturdier texture of chef John's will be great with the filling.

You can try this version. Another option is using cream and julienned fresh peppers (not spicy ones) on top instead of the Austrian bread and butter mix.
