Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 15 grams Fresh dill
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
1. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
2. Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth in a large bowl.
Step 3
3. Add the flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix together until a soft, pliable dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Step 4
4. Divide the dough into manageable portions and roll each one into long ropes, about 1 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into small 1.5 cm pieces to form the potato pasta.
Step 5
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potato pasta in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
Step 6
6. In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 7
7. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Add the chopped dill, parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
8. Add the cooked potato pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the herb sauce.
Step 9
9. Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped herbs if desired. Enjoy your traditional Kazakh-inspired dish!
