Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Bacon or salted pork
- 10 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Lingonberry jam or cranberry sauce (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes, then grate them finely using a box grater or a food processor.
Step 2
Place the grated potatoes in a clean cheesecloth or kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl. Set the liquid aside for a few minutes to let the potato starch settle at the bottom.
Step 3
Carefully pour off the liquid from the bowl, keeping the potato starch at the bottom. Add this starch back to the grated potatoes.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a thick dough. The dough should hold together but remain slightly sticky.
Step 5
Cut the bacon or salted pork into small cubes. Take a small handful of the potato dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a piece of bacon or salted pork in the center, then fold the dough around it and shape it into a ball about the size of a small apple (roughly 2-3 inches in diameter). Repeat with the remaining dough and bacon.
Step 6
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a gentle boil and add a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water one at a time. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the dumplings for about 45-60 minutes. They will float to the surface when done, but ensure they are fully cooked through by cutting one open to check the center.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked dumplings from the water and place them on a serving plate.
Step 10
Serve warm with butter and lingonberry jam or cranberry sauce, if desired. Potet Klub is also delicious served with a side of boiled vegetables.
