Mohnnudeln Dough
- 500 g Potatoes peeled and diced
- 130 g All Purpose Flour
- 25 g Unsalted Butter
- 1 Egg Yolk
- Pinch Kosher Salt
For Tossing
- 80 g Melted Butter
- 100 g Powdered Sugar
- 200 g Poppy Seeds ground
- 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20 minutes, or until soft and easily broken apart. Drain then let potatoes cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl mash the potatoes until no chunks remain.
Add the flour, unsalted butter, egg yolk and pinch of salt. Combine until you've created a uniform dough.
To make the potato dumplings, take one spoonful of dough and roll it with one hand until 2-3 cm long. Traditional Mohnnudeln have slightly tapered ends.
Gently drop the potato dumplings into boiling water and let simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. When cooked, they'll float to the top. Remove with a sieve and ensure they drain well.
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter then add the noodles and stir to combine. Add the poppy seeds and cinnamon.
Before serving sprinkle with powdered sugar.
