Ingredients
-
2 c. grated raw potatoes
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup flour
1 cup chopped onion
4 oz Butter
Directions
Peel and grate the potatoes using a fine grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, salt, and beaten egg. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Flour your hands to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form a dumpling. Repeat this process until all the dough is used.
Cook the Dumplings:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface.
Drain and Serve:
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the boiling water and drain excess water.
Serve with Sour Cream or Butter:
Place the Kletski on a serving dish. Serve hot with a generous dollop of sour cream or drizzled with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh dill over the top for added flavor.
Saute onions with butter and pour over the dumplings.
