German Potato Dumplings

German potato dumplings are "the" traditional side dish for almost any meat and gravy dinner.

I remember spending hours with my Mom making them. First peeling pounds of potatoes. Then grating them (OUCH - the fingers!). Then squeezing the grated potatoes to remove as much liquid as possible.

Then came mixing them with the other ingredients. Finally, they were ready to be cooked. A long process indeed! Needless to say, I never made them once I got married. I had no good memories of making them. BUT I LOVED TO EAT THEM!!

What I wanted were Mom's original "kloesse" made from raw potatoes. If you're looking for dumplings made with cooked potatoes, check out her easy recipe of Potato Dumplings with Cooked Potatoes.

My answer to the "raw potato dumplings"? Buy "Potato Dumpling Mix". All I had to do was mix the package with water, stand 10 minutes, form the dumplings, and simmer for 20 minutes. Delicious every time. They're the ones pictured above along side a Beef Flatladen dinner.

But I really would like to make them from scratch. I've searched for other ways on how to make dumplings. Something easy. Something quick.
