"Kaspress" dumpling
Cook up some authentic Zillertal comfort food – we’ll show you how to make Kaspressknödel perfectly every time.
Ingredients:
- 6 cooked potatoes
- 250 g quark (Bröseltopfen)
- 150 g grated grey cheese (Graukäse)
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- Salt, pepper, chives
- 1 medium grated onion
- Optional: a little grated garlic
- Clarified butter (Butterschmalz) for frying
Preparation:
1. Peel and grate or mash the potatoes. Mix them with the remaining ingredients to form a dough.
2. Shape into patties and fry in clarified butter on both sides until crispy and golden brown.
Tip:
- Use a smooth pan to prevent sticking.
- Lightly flour the patties before placing them in the hot butter.
- Clean the pan occasionally to remove any crusts.
- Serve with herb sour cream and green salad, or simply with lingonberries and buttermilk. They are also delicious in beef soup with onions.
Enjoy your meal!
