    The lowly potato,
    lumpy and crude,
    under John's hand
    becomes glorious food.
    It starts on the counter,
    homely and brown,
    and ends on my plate
    with a crispy gold crown.

    Regarding the lemon pepper potatoes I have two important pieces of information.
    1. Easy with the cayenne pepper! If you over do that you will have worked long and hard and some of your guests won't be able to really enjoy them. I love spicy but my first try were too hot for me, so take it easy with that. The black pepper and kosher salt can and should be used with abundance.
    2. Don't start these 1 or even 1.5 hours before dinner. The final bake takes a solid hour+. If you plan on sitting down at 7, start preparing at 4.30 at the latest!!!

    I (native German) would never ever make Kartoffelklöße without the roasted bread cubes in the middle. They are the best part of the dumpling! By adding them you make sure that the dumplings are fluffy which, in turn, makes them perfect for absorbing a lot of the flavorful sauce that is part of the dish you would serve them with. The ultimate purpose of the German Kartoffelkloß is to serve as an edible sponge for the sauce 🙂

    I've made these before without the cubes and they tend to the stodgy in the centre. I'm a hunnert percent sure, now, that putting crisped bread cubes in the middle of the 'dough' would stop this from happening. I would guess that you could put crisped bacon, or cooked egg yolk, or even a dried fig in the middle and that, too, would work. Thanks for asking the question and making me think about it.

    Hi Chef! My hubby and I just finished the lemon pepper potatoes for the second time. They were even better than the first time. I used a roasted garlic infused EVOO (made that myself). On the tops, I sprinkled salt, pepper, onion powder, roasted garlic powder, and sage powder. I did the broth the same, but instead of adding fresh oregano, I used a bunch of fresh English thyme and Winter Savory; fresh from my garden. Oh, it was so very, very yummy! We really enjoyed these with our steaks and salads! Thanks so much for the inspiration, Chef John! Sue

    Potato Dumplings, like most potato, rice, and pasta dishes are peasant dishes. Hence, the use of day-old bread as a way to stretch both one's budget and one's food supply. Roasted and stuffed chicken and other fowl, pork and lamb were historically a convenient and economical way to feed whole families. "Waste not, want not", I remember my wonderful grandmother telling us, even as toddlers. She was a bride during the Great Depression, but she had learned these dishes from her own Eastern European-born mother and grandmother. Because of such delicious, heart-warming, satisfying dishes, I've always believed the best foods are peasant dishes. Love your attitude and can't wait to try some of your easy-follow recipes. Thank you so much!

  • @leung9401

    You should definitely try the austrian version of the potato dumplings, called "Grammelknödel" which are filled with "Grammeln" (pieces of extremely crunchy crackling made from fatback, similar to pork rinds) instead of croutons. Here's the kicker: Before you put the "Grammeln" inside the dumplings, they are flavored with garlic, various spices and herbs and then tossed in molten pork fat. Then you let the mixture cool down so you can form little balls that are easier to work into the dumplings. Usually these dumplings are served on a bed of Sauerkraut, but I prefer "Veltlinerkraut", which is shredded cabbage cooked in sweet white wine and spices. The whole thing is then topped off with "Schweinssaftl", a deliciously meaty sauce made from roasted pork bones and "Suppengemüse" (soup vegetables), usually carrots, celeriac, leeks, parsley root and various spices and herbs. It's just a fluffy mass of potato heaven, filled with pieces of crunchy, salty, spicy goodness, drenched in deliciously meaty liquid gold. It's mind blowing, seriously.
