DAMPFKARTOFFELN (BOILED POTATOES THE GERMAN WAY)



Dampfkartoffeln (Boiled Potatoes the German Way) image

Unbeknownst to me as a child, my mother made boiled potatoes the German way, and fried potatoes too. When she made a roast, she didn't make gravy, she served the potatoes smashed with butter or broth on top. To this day, I still love them that way.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 to 8 medium red-skinned potatoes or yukon gold
1 tsp salt
water to cover potatoes
butter
parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the potatoes well and dry. If large cut them in half or quarters. Fill a pot with enough water to almost cover potatoes; add salt. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
  • 2. Drain water and place the pot back on the hot burner without cover and steam dry for a minute or two, shaking the pot a few times to evaporate the water.
  • 3. Peel the potatoes with a sharp knife and place them in a serving dish.
  • 4. Pour a little melted butter over potatoes in serving dish and sprinkle with parsley. Then they are called Petersilienkartoffeln (parsleyed potatoes).
  • 5. Eat the potatoes by mashing them with a fork on the plate, adding salt, pepper, and a bit of butter or some broth from your meat. Nothing like it! This is Deutsch Kochen! (German cooking)

Here's what you need: bacon, yellow onion, vegetable oil, yukon gold potatoes, salt, pepper, fresh parsley

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup bacon, diced
½ cup yellow onion, diced
½ cup vegetable oil
3 yukon gold potatoes, boiled whole until just tender and cut into quaters
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Sauté the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much grease as possible in the pan, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
  • In the pan with the bacon fat, sauté the onions until translucent, for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the onions from the pan, leaving behind any remaining bacon fat.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the potatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté the potatoes until they begin to get a golden crust, 15-20 minutes.
  • Return the bacon and cooked onions to the pan and toss gently with the potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through and golden brown.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!
