Yes, they're potato dumplings, but the only recipes I can find online are wierd variations, including bread and stuff. I will try this evening and put into words what I learned by hand from a lovely Frau in Bonn many years ago.
Re: spaetzle -- I made it last night -- tossed it with caramelized onions and mushrooms, and served it alongside sliced steak. It was heaven!
Thank you - I would appreciate it and I want to make them!
Mmm, yumm! Love caramelized onions. Even keep some in the freezer, “just in case” I need them, lol. Looking forward to your knodel directions!
Hey, I’m finally having my spaetzle, after thinking about them all week, lol.
We’ve had thunderstorms and power outages every day, including one that left me without A/C for 30 hours or so - and I didn’t want to stand over a pot of boiling water!
I’m having them with meat loaf gravy and just sampled, yum! Had to get busy replacing my hurricane meat loaf, because I’d eaten it all. I always keep a sliced one frozen, in case of hurricane or no power - because it tastes good without heating and can be used cold in a sandwich.
Made extra gravy just for the spaetzle and glad I did. Happy Labor Day weekend to you!
