35 BEST German Recipes
This collection of authentic German Recipes will give you a great taste of classic Bavarian fare. We love these crispy sauerkraut balls:
Ingredients:
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 1 egg
- 1.25 cup breadcrumbs, divided
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Oil for frying
Instruction:
- Add potatoes to pot and cover with cold water and place on stove over high heat. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until easily pierced with a knife, about 15-20 minutes, depending on size. Drain, then immerse in cold water. Once cool enough to handle, remove skins.
- Squeeze as much liquid from the sauerkraut as you can, then add into a large bowl along with potatoes, egg, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, parsley and spices. Mash them with a fork until potatoes are mostly mashed and everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Spread the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs on a plate. Form the potato sauerkraut mixture into golf ball sized spheres, about 1/8 of a cup of mixture per ball. Roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Place balls on parchment paper lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat 3/4 inch of cooking oil in a skillet over medium high heat, about 350°F. Add ball to hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towel lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
