Potato spaetzle "very fine"

Spread the love

Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, floury
  • 5 eggs, approx., depending on size
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 100 g flour (type 405 or similar)
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • some pepper, black
  • salt water

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

simply prepare different spaetzle

Wash, peel, boil, and mash the potatoes (using a potato ricer or masher), then let cool. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and mix with the eggs, spices, and orange juice. Gradually add flour until the dough breaks apart. Let stand for at least 10-15 minutes, then check the consistency again and add more flour if necessary. Then you can prepare the spaetzle as usual in boiling salted water. Be sure to rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking together! A spaetzle press is less suitable for potato spaetzle; a grater promises better results; in a pinch, you can also scrape the spaetzle from a board.
