I (native German) would never ever make Kartoffelklöße without the roasted bread cubes in the middle. They are the best part of the dumpling! By adding them you make sure that the dumplings are fluffy which, in turn, makes them perfect for absorbing a lot of the flavorful sauce that is part of the dish you would serve them with. The ultimate purpose of the German Kartoffelkloß is to serve as an edible sponge for the sauce 🙂

[@chezmoi42]

Yes, I think that is in fact the ultimate role of potatoes in life.

Regarding the lemon pepper potatoes I have two important pieces of information. 1. Easy with the cayenne pepper! If you over do that you will have worked long and hard and some of your guests won't be able to really enjoy them. I love spicy but my first try were too hot for me, so take it easy with that. The black pepper and kosher salt can and should be used with abundance. 2. Don't start these 1 or even 1.5 hours before dinner. The final bake takes a solid hour+. If you plan on sitting down at 7, start preparing at 4.30 at the latest!!!

You should definitely try the austrian version of the potato dumplings, called "Grammelknödel" which are filled with "Grammeln" (pieces of extremely crunchy crackling made from fatback, similar to pork rinds) instead of croutons. Here's the kicker: Before you put the "Grammeln" inside the dumplings, they are flavored with garlic, various spices and herbs and then tossed in molten pork fat. Then you let the mixture cool down so you can form little balls that are easier to work into the dumplings. Usually these dumplings are served on a bed of Sauerkraut, but I prefer "Veltlinerkraut", which is shredded cabbage cooked in sweet white wine and spices. The whole thing is then topped off with "Schweinssaftl", a deliciously meaty sauce made from roasted pork bones and "Suppengemüse" (soup vegetables), usually carrots, celeriac, leeks, parsley root and various spices and herbs. It's just a fluffy mass of potato heaven, filled with pieces of crunchy, salty, spicy goodness, drenched in deliciously meaty liquid gold. It's mind blowing, seriously.

comment about Kartoffelklöße from a German, as taught to me by my grandmother: you put the bread cubes in the center as the dumplings don't cook through all the way in 20 minutes. And if you cook them longer, the outside starts to fall apart. So basically the bread aids in having uniformly cooked dumplings. My favorite kind of potato dumplings are the Thuringian ones (Thüringer Klöße): two thirds of the potatoes grated and pressed very dry, one third cooked and mashed. Dump the hot mash onto the raw dry mass with some salt and work through until you get a uniform dough. Shape dumplings with the bread cubes in the center and simmer for 20 minutes as you have shown (they hold their shape and have a nice consistency without the need for egg & flour)

[@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358]

@Julia Winfield Yes they were, so moist and yet crispy on top just like in the vid. mmm

[@jumpinjohnnyruss]

I know I delect them.

[@Prodr305]

I love listening to him. I could listen to him all day. Even if I never made one of his dishes, he will always be my favorite!

[@Shayna11NM]

Ok, your potatoes Romanoff may actually replace my beloved cheese and garlic mashed potato casserole. ❤️ I love a new recipe and plan to try all of these. Thank you!

[@carolynnmathisen8754]

I’ve tried every one of them. Crazy good!! Thank you Chef John

[@chrissiewindsor]

The lemon pepper potato dish is absolutely fantastic! I love spuds!

[@AuntamedWolf]

If you can find potato starch, and use it instead of the flour, they will turn out very German. The Kattoffel Kloesse.

[@AuntamedWolf]

By the way, the potato puffs are awesome, even better then Kattofel Kroketten.

[@margaretmcguire3241]

Thank u for sharing! I wish my husband could cook like this.. 😆 I save my potayo peelings. Give them a good rinse a toss in flour, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and a sprinkle of chilly powder and fry them.. yummy the best homemade potato skins. Never throw away the potato peelings.. they're packed with nutritional value. 🍽

[@ravens6286]

I looked into why croutons are put into the potato dumplings & I found this: "They ensure that the center of the dumpling is cooked! From "quick German recipes". How do the croutons do that? Well, since there's no 'raw' dough in the middle, the dumplings cook quicker and through and through."

[@diy_nailsby_heidi_r3889]

They also absorb excess liquid from the inside of the dumpling. (My German Mütti's explanation!)

[@mademoisellem3529]

I made the lemon pepper ones today. Did not use chicken stock, instead used lemon, water and nutritional yeast. Absolutely delicious.

[@dogcatfamily2476]

TY I'm vegan and sometimes it's easy to substitute others not. The Nooch idea is genius ❣️TY

[@jermainamburayan580]

Love this chef Jon. He is humorous and so down to earth. doesn't worry about mistakes and makes you feel you can do it too. I did roasted Lemon Pepper and it was delicious my kids finished them . Fortunately, i hid few in the wet kitchen for myself to enjoy. I fried some sausages to go with them. That was lunch done . Thank you Chef Jon.

[@UteHempel]

In the very unlikely case you'd have leftover Kartoffelklöße you could slice them and fry them up like scalloped potatoes. As for why we Germans add fried bread cubes into them... a theory says it helps with having a consistent texture for the dumpling (no hard core or too moist core).

[@lc767]

I sometimes like the fried up leftover dumplings (fry them in butter!) better than the fresh ones 🙂

[@shayshaymann113]

I think I’ve heard that the croutons also help to ensure the dumplings don’t fall apart. Not sure how accurate that is, but it makes sense

[@anthonyscchiu]

Kk kk J Jill up ok pnvbǜlililircg

[@neeladaboda3097]

I didn't even know that there is another reason but just tastyness. My granny always put bread cubes in.

[@7drunkenmermaids431]

Gotta make way too many for having leftovers to fry in the morning. It's HEAVENLY

[@MJ18888]

This is such a smoothing and relaxing video to watch! Thank you Chef John ❤️

[@janetcannon8376]

I think the homemade croutons in the center gets that buttery taste into the center of the dumpling without ruining the consistency of the dumpling like a pat of butter would do.

[@kimberlypatton9634]

Total brilliance! After cooking for over 50 years(I'm 62,and my mother always worked,so I ,being oldest,got the job!) I now have some great new ways to try with potatoes! I'm stoked! Can't wait to try! I just need to get the repairman in to see why my gas oven pilot light won't stay lit,then I can!

[@georgeannrutkowski2740]

Love, love, love Chef John's recipes. Amazing potato ideas and such a fun, lighthearted personality 😋 makes me want to start cooking now!

[@Tiffany-bk4kz]

Those are the same qualities that made me say... gee whiz, I want to marry this guy :) Wouldn't it be fantastic to have someone so jovial around? Who also cooks? His wife (or partner) is very lucky

[@RosaGonzalez-yt8km]

I absolutely love this video, because, well, I love potatoes. I also love Chef John's voice! The commentary during is not only informational, but entertaining.

[@rlb2444]

Yes, he has an excellent instructors voice. I think he is the only person that I have ever heard speak in a bullet point manner.

[@kat15471]

😱 Never too many potato recipes. Will be trying all of these soon. Thanks for posting. 🥔🍽

[@J3B24]

Well Chef , I made Potatoes Romaoff and let's just say the casserole dish came back empty at the end of dinner. They were really great. Next on the list will be potato dumplings and potato puffs. Love watching your videos and trying out your recipes. Thank you

[@phillydragon9434]

the way this mans voice wave length goes up and down up and down is maddening

[@malinachainey1564]

I'm so excited that I FINALLY know the name of those German potatoes dumplings. I've only had them 2x when I was a kid back in the late 90s early 00s at this amazing German restaurant called, The Black Forest Inn located in Northern NJ. I remembered they were hands downs my most favorite part of the meal, although the rest of the food I got was really good too. But I've always wanted to make them, but had zero clue what they were called. I can't wait to make these for myself and my family!

[@cybrgrlseveneighttwo1510]

I love this guy. He makes things that I always thought of as super fancy easy enough for me to do at home. I had the pomme dauphine years ago at a french bistro but never had the confidence to make them. ..Think I'll try them though.

[@katiezee2]

oooh I had the Dauphine potatoes at a real country inn in France 35 years ago, and still fondy remember them to this day !

[@gwynnh]

I love his personality! And this is actually stuff I can do! Thank you Chef John!

[@shopwithaaron]

Great compilation!!! More please!! And now I'm hungry! TY John!

[@williamday7132]

Watching this again... Chef John has great recipes and a very enjoyable melodic voice, and it is a joy to listen to him.

[@sirixis5204]

i had to mute it and turn subtitles on because the voice would get so high pitched and come back down. the syllables were the same for each sentence and higher pitched repetitively. as a musician it really distracted me lol still a great video and funny guy 👌🏼

[@margaretlavender9647]

His voice is awful! It really is most peculiar. He drops his last word for every single time he drops his voice in the middle of a sentence and also at the end. Where does he come from? I’ve never heard an accent and voice-drop like this. It’s ridiculous.I certainly won’t be watching him again.

[@sirixis5204]

@@margaretlavender9647 i thought i was the only one 😭

[@rose-mariemortensen9789]

Hello nice recipes! Here is som fantastic potato recipe from Sweden in the East coast there is an Island called Öland and it calls “kroppkakor” it is from 1700 really old. It is little like potato dumpling with salted smoked pork bacon, onion and seasoned with “Krydd” pepper it is like black pepper but more mild and aromatic inside. It’s boild and sometimes preheated in butter. It’s s served with “lingon” berrys , dubbel cream and melted godbrown butter and the fat from the bacon. Here is the recipe if you want to try and use translate 👍☺️

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I LOVE the way Chef John sort of sings the ends of his sentences as he explains the results. 🤗🥰🤗 "and of course the edges will be brown and crustyyyyy 🎵" "the bottom gets nice and sticky from the stooock 🎵" "Which imparts a little bit of extra richness into the potatooooo🎵" ❤

[@mkphilly]

I'm sorry, but every on sentence his voice quickly goes up then drops down.... as annoying as valley speak

[@patrickmckinley9937]

Hi 👋 friend, how are you doing? Hope you are safe in this pandemic period 😷😊

[@MHarenArt]

I wanted to take this to a potluck Christmas Party last year, but all the women there were avoiding starch (boring!). SO! I steamed and squeezed all the liquid from a cauliflower, which I chopped finely and used that instead of potato. I have to tell you it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!

[@tonimccoy1115]

Ooooooo!

[@patrickmckinley9937]

Hi 👋 Maggie, can I talk to you for a moment?

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Way to change 360 degrees on your recipe!

[@GH05TM0V3R]

Sounds very tasty!

[@hoddtoward]

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

Best discription of a shallot I have ever heard and love: "A shallot is everything a onion aspires to be"

[@bristolfashion4421]

Hi CJ, Spud lover, over here in Bristol, UK saying hello... this vid. is a real inspiration for me! Thanks for the helpful, detailed instructions (as usual!) Taters it is, tonight 🙂

[@plantsandcarrots5233]

My hubby is a chef and I made the Romanov one and he flipped out!! Damn good!!!

[@Vardash]

We don't use a whole egg for the dumplings, only the egg yolks, furthermore potato flour or starch is usually used instead of flour, and the crouton in the middle so that the dumplings cook evenly :)

[@lk6789]

I don't use any egg, just plain flour and baking soda, suet and a pinch of salt, can add herbs if liked. Never fails.

[@denisestinnett8904]

Made the potatoes Romanoff and they were awesome! Everyone loved them and I would absolutely make them again, thanks Chef John!

[@echospaw899]

Love it! I am purposely trying to cook different meals that I've never had or not for a long time. Different ways with potatoes is a good place to start. Thanks!!

[@mimih3914]

You are SOOOOO FUN to watch!!!! I love your recipes, technical (but not TOO technical) instructions and the way you have of putting us all at ease with some "fancier" dishes. Thank you! ❤
