Looking through my old recipe cards, I found an old Knoedel recipe made by one of my old friends who was a chef in Vienna

Ingredients for 8 servings

Knoedel for 6 to 8 people:

800 g of floury potatoes, peeled
120 g of flour mixed with 50 g of cornstarch or potato starch
2 whole eggs
3 large onions, sliced (finely chopped) and sautéed in peanut oil, then drained on absorbent paper
2 tablespoons of chopped flat parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

1- Cook the potatoes in water or steam, then pass them quickly through a vegetable mill with a fine grid. Pour into a bowl, then add, with a spatula, the mixed flour, stir, then add the beaten eggs, onions, chopped parsley, salt and freshly ground pepper.
When the mixture becomes compact, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2- Then, form balls and plunge them into boiling water or a good beef broth (prepared or in an Ariake sachet) for 25 minutes at a very gentle boil.

3- Drain and serve with sautéed lardons of country bacon and toasted slices of baguette bread.
