SWEDISH WONDERFUL POTATO DUMPLINGS

 

 

Eating...

Is it positive for you?

Why to so many of us eating means something negative?

Actually eating is one of the biggest pleasures in life.

Enjoy it.

Listen to your body.

Take your time.

Food is wonderful.

Below is the recipe for swedish wonderful potato dumplings or Kroppkakor how they call it. I made my own version of this classical dish.

Ingredients:

600g boiled potatoes (not the new ones)

100g flour

1 egg

200g mushrooms, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 little chili, chopped

1tsp salt
pepper

oil or butter
water

100g creme fraiche

Mash the potatoes well or press them through a potato ricer. Wait until totally cold. Add flour, egg and salt and mix everything together.

Fry onions and garlic in a little oil or butter until soft. Add mushrooms and chili, salt and pepper. Fry another minute.
 Cut dough into 10-12 golf ball size or bigger pieces. Flatten each piece in hand and place 1 spoons of mushroom filling into the centre of the piece. Form it back into ball.
Boil the dumplings in a large pot of salty water about 10 minutes.
Fry the dumplings with some oil and leftover mushrooms.
I love to eat them with creme fraiche.

Fancy another filling than mushrooms? Check out Lovefoodies Flavour Dancing Dumplings that she did after my recipe above. She has some great fillings like moroccan and chinese.
