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]

18:50 'for no apparent reason, we put the crispy cubes in the centre' I've made these before without the cubes and they tend to the stodgy in the centre. I'm a hunnert percent sure, now, that putting crisped bread cubes in the middle of the 'dough' would stop this from happening. I would guess that you could put crisped bacon, or cooked egg yolk, or even a dried fig in the middle and that, too, would work. Thanks for asking the question and making me think about it. You are truly wonderful.

On the tops, I sprinkled salt, pepper, onion powder, roasted garlic powder, and sage powder. I did the broth the same, but instead of adding fresh oregano, I used a bunch of fresh English thyme and Winter Savory; fresh from my garden. Oh, it was so very, very yummy!

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.

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!!!

Potato Dumplings, like most potato, rice, and pasta dishes are peasant dishes. Hence, the use of day-old bread as a way to stretch both one's budget and one's food supply. Roasted and stuffed chicken and other fowl, pork and lamb were historically a convenient and economical way to feed whole families. "Waste not, want not", I remember my wonderful grandmother telling us, even as toddlers. She was a bride during the Great Depression, but she had learned these dishes from her own Eastern European-born mother and grandmother. Because of such delicious, heart-warming, satisfying dishes, I've always believed the best foods are peasant dishes. Love your attitude and can't wait to try some of your easy-follow recipes.

[@HisWordisLife4U]

Whenever Chef John is on... I end up in the kitchen halfway through the video; he inspires me to cook and eat. Every time. Thank you John.

[@sarbatime9142]

this might be my favorite cooking video on youtube. The way you speak makes it so much better

[@sxybrownsuga4999]

"Add one more sprinkle of black pepper....probably for no good reason; but I did it any way!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great recipes with hilarious commentary and instructions!!!! Love it!!!

[@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!

[@mariod7473]

Those baked potato puffs will be on my Christmas table this year, I have tried the 4 other amazing ways also in the past...

[@shanti34567]

Maybe use Ghee for the whole frying process for the fondant potatoes. High smoke point and delicious.

[@im.charles]

This guy is a treasure. I'll admit though, when I first came across this channel at first, the man's intonation/inflection threw me off. Like that Boston/New England accent, I was like huh?? Haha, gotta love it!

[@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!

[@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. 🍽

[@kat15471]

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

[@marcusthompson9539]

This guy sounds like This Old Tony’s twin brother who went to culinary school. Seriously his cadence and dry humor are spot on.

[@ZEUSs_Paw]

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!!

[@DominikKJakob]

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)

[@birgip.m.1236]

Oh LOVE your idea!! No added starch / easier to be GF & No animal product!!

[@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358]

Just got some potatoes fondant roasting in the oven right now! You've inspired me yet again Chef John, they smell delectable.

[@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.

[@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 😭

[@kristinespeer2852]

I am not German, but Scandinavian and I was taught the toasted bread in center is to eliminate a dough texture center. The toasted bread absorbed the steam to help!

[@joaniereed8272]

I had to literally pause the video in order to wrap my head around how simple that was. So brilliant

[@toralkachhadia]

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!

[@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

[@stevewilmoth442]

Off topic a bit, but I couldn't help notice the plated potato dumplings were next to two items that exist to a large extent because of food preservation techniques: the vinegar (no doubt) in the cabbage and the salt/spices/curing of the sausage. Anything to keep the bacteria away since the fridges always seemed on the fritz in ancient times.

[@teresaproano7984]

Chef John, couldn’t sleep so I watched your video… your explanation , voice inflection and video is brilliant.. can’t wait to try your recipes!

[@frankblakefield4855]

Hi Teresa

[@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]

[@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

[@joefrank7159]

Great! Need this for this season. Thanks!

[@richiejohnson]

18:20. Having heard many times pasta water should be as salty as sea water, I got a gallon from the Gulf and cooked some linguine. I will tell you it was very, very salty! It did smell good as it boiled.

[@spindleblood]

Dang. Did it taste salty too? Once I did over salt my pasta water. It kinda ruined the carbonara... It is possible to over salt. I'm curious how using actual ocean water turned out though!

[@dominikakratochvil860]

In Czechia, we do same potato dumplings, but with smoked meat inside. And we eat them only with sauerkraut (usualy white one), coocked mixed with little bit of bacon. But it’s not so surprising we have something similar, Germany is out neighbor 🤷‍♀️

[@chirelle.alanalooney8609]

Your Potatoes Romanoff is fantastic! My parents used to go to Romanoff's Restaurant, which was always a treat.

[@MJ18888]

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

[@levgoldiner3098]

Just made Fondant Potatoes - came out great!!!, my fiancé now wants is in our regular rotation of potato dishes!!!

[@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!

[@susiemiller2621]

I barely remember grating raw potato as a kid, for my mom to make her version. She is from Southern Bavaria. She made a 'Semmel' version of potato dumpling too. Panni makes a wonderful box version if you are pressed for time. The real deal has a stickyness to it.

[@koolaidblack7697]

You and chef John share a gender
