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.
