Wachauer Marillenknödel (Austria)
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons of granulated sugar
- 4 sweet apricot slices
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- Powdered sugar
Boil the potatoes with their skins. Mash the boiled potatoes.
Add flour, egg and salt to the mashed potatoes and mix.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Prepare each piece by rolling it into a dough ball shape.
Flatten each dough ball and place an apricot slice with a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Close the edges of the dough and shape it into a ball.
Boil water in a pot. Drop the dough balls into water and boil over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally until the knödels are cooked.
Melt the butter in a pan. Add breadcrumbs and fry.
Drain the knödels and dip them in the toasted breadcrumb mixture.
Serve by sprinkling with powdered sugar.
