<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone, I promised Deanna to get my mom's recipe for potato balls a while ago, but I'm unable to reach her by email. Anyway, maybe other people would be interested, too. These are original recipes, no substitutions. So here are my mom's recipes for "Kloesse". She's been making them for ~40 years so it's one of those "add until is feels right" recipes. It might take some trying out. She said she gave it to several people, and they had initial problems, but after the third try or so they came back and said the potato balls turned out great. Gummikloesse: 1 kg potatoes (the starchy kind) 1 egg ~ 4 Ts potato starch ~ 1/2 ts salt Peel and cook potatoes, mash. (Don't let them cool, use them warm.) Add egg, salt, and as much potato starch as is necessary to make a smooth, not sticky dough. Make potato balls and cook them for about 10 min in simmering water. (They can fall to pieces in too rapidly boiling water). Raw potato balls: 1 1 kg potatoes (the starchy kind) ~ 4 Ts potato starch ~ 1/2 ts salt Peel all potatoes, cook about 2/3 of them, mash. Finally grind the remaining potatoes, add them together with the liquid produced during grinding to the warm boiled potatoes. Add salt and the necessary amount of starch. Make flattened potato balls and cook them in simmering water for 15-20 min. Depending on the potatoes, these might not look too appetizing. They can be grey-greenish, especially after they get cold, but don't let that put you off. The leftovers are stil great cut to pieces and reheated in a frying pan, with onions and eggs if you like. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g = about two pounds Ts = tablespoon ts = teaspoon) Enjoy! Sylvia
