Description
Traditional Polish Strawberry Knedle are sweet potato dumplings filled with fresh strawberries, served with melted butter and sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g cooked and mashed potatoes, cooled and lump-free
- 1 egg
- 150–180 g all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 15–20 small fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons melted butter
- Additional granulated sugar, for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled, mashed potatoes with the egg and 150 g of flour. Mix until incorporated, adding more flour as needed to achieve a soft, non-sticky dough. Knead briefly until smooth.
- Wash and hull the strawberries. If any are larger than the rest, halve them. Lightly sprinkle the strawberries with sugar and set aside.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces. Flatten each piece in your hand to form a small disc. Place one strawberry in the center, add a pinch of sugar, then fold the dough over the fruit and seal well. Gently roll into a ball. Repeat until all dough and strawberries are used.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop in the dumplings in batches to avoid crowding. Cook until they rise to the surface, then simmer for 1–2 additional minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain briefly.
- Transfer dumplings to plates. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Optionally, roll in toasted breadcrumbs or serve with sour cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are completely cooled and lump-free for the best texture.
- Adjust the amount of flour depending on the moisture of the potatoes.
- These dumplings can be served with various toppings such as sour cream or breadcrumbs.
