GLUTEN-FREE POTATO KNEIDLACH / NON-GEBROKTS SOUP DUMPLINGS



Gluten-Free Potato Kneidlach / Non-Gebrokts Soup Dumplings image

Potato kneidlach are light, fluffy potato dumplings for Passover that are a wonderful gluten-free substitute for matzo balls. I have loved these ever since I first made them for a gluten-free friend in 2005. I based this recipe off of one from The Passover Gourmet by Nira Rousso. My dad e-mailed me Rousso's recipe for potato dumplings a few years ago and I used that as the basis for these. Leftover batter can also be fried into chewy potato pancakes, as well.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup potato starch, plus
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until soft. Drain and allow to cool. Once cool, mash with oil, eggs, salt, pepper and dill.
  • Stir in potato starch until thoroughly combined, and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
  • Bring soup or a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Use your hands to gently form rough ball shapes from one tablespoon of batter at a time, and submerge dumplings in the soup or water - If you prefer, you may use a soup spoon or ice cream scoop to move free-form spoonfuls of batter into the pot. Boil for approximately 5-6 minutes - The dumplings will float up to the surface quickly but will need several additional minutes to cook all the way through.
  • Serve in soup, or as a side dish with butter or margarine and fried onions.

MATZO POTATO DUMPLINGS

Great for Passover. Serve with browned butter or other sauce as a side dish. To use in soups, just boil in the soup broth instead of water. You can make the potatoes in advance and keep them cooled in the fridge. Adapted from New Settlement Cookbook.

GLUTEN-FREE MATZO BALLS (KNEIDLACH) - PASSOVER SOUP DUMPLINGS



Gluten-Free Matzo Balls (Kneidlach) - Passover Soup Dumplings image

While nothing will ever be quite as delicious as the "real thing", these gluten-free kneidlach come closer to capturing the texture I was looking for than any other recipe I've tried. Choose a very finely ground blanched almond meal for the best texure. If you aren't vegetarian, you'll find it well worth using chicken fat (such as the fat that you skim off the top of the chicken soup, allowed to cool and solidify) instead of oil. These are very dense - If you'd like to try to get them lighter, I'd recommend whipping the egg whites into stiff peaks and gently folding them into the batter at the last minute. A note about flax seeds: These are considered kosher for Passover by some, and kitniyot by others. If you use them, be sure to use finely ground flax meal. If you consider flax seed to be kitniyot, try omitting this ingredient.

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup finely ground almond meal
1/4 cup potato starch
1 tablespoon flax seed meal (finely ground flax seeds)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon softened margarine

Steps:

  • Beat egg with salt and pepper. Add remaining ingredients, and combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Add additional potato starch, if necessary, until the batter is firm enough to be rolled into balls with your hands - It will still be sticky, but not too wet to handle. Using clean, dry hands roll a tablespoon of dough at a time into balls. Submerge in boiling water or soup.
  • Allow to cook for approximately 10 minutes or until each ball has puffed up a bit and is cooked all the way through.
  • For Vegetarian do not use Chicken fat.
