👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Cook the peeled potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain well and spread on a baking sheet. Steam in a hot oven for about 15 minutes to dry them out.

   💡 プロのコツ: This step helps to remove excess moisture from the potatoes, leading to a better dough consistency.
2. 2

   Pass the hot potatoes through a sieve or potato ricer and let them cool slightly.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the potatoes are not too hot when you pass them through the sieve.
3. 3

   In a bowl, combine the sieved potatoes, flour, 40g butter, egg yolks, salt, and lemon zest. Knead into a smooth, pliable dough.

   💡 プロのコツ: The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust flour or potato moisture if needed.
4. 4

   Wash and dry the plums. Cut them in half. Roll the halved sugar cubes in cinnamon powder.

   💡 プロのコツ: If using frozen plums, do not thaw completely before stuffing.
5. 5

   Shape the potato dough into a roll about 5 cm thick. Cut into 1 cm thick slices. Flatten each slice with your palm.

   💡 プロのコツ: Work with one slice at a time to prevent the dough from drying out.
6. 6

   Place a cinnamon-sugar-coated sugar cube half into each plum half. Top with the other plum half and wrap with a flattened piece of dough, twisting to seal and form a dumpling.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the plum filling is completely enclosed in the dough.
7. 7

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface and are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

   💡 プロのコツ: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
8. 8

   While the dumplings are cooking, melt 50g butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown and crispy.

   💡 プロのコツ: Stir constantly to prevent the breadcrumbs from burning.
9. 9

   Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon, drain well, and roll them in the toasted breadcrumbs.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure dumplings are well-drained before coating in breadcrumbs for best adhesion.
10. 10

    Serve the Zwetschgenknödel warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

    💡 プロのコツ: These are best enjoyed fresh.
