I am looking for a potato, noodle recipe...German??? Please help?

Question

It contained boiled potatoes, cut up in chunks. Sour Cream and spaetzel like noodles. It was great, but I have no idea if that was all it contained or what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Hungarian Potato Noodles

3 to 4 medium potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 large egg
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces) butter
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes with the egg. Make a well in the center of mixture and add enough flour and the salt to form a soft dough. Roll dough into ropes about 1/4-inch in diameter and cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces.
Heat a large pot of water to boil. Drop noodles into boiling water and cook until done, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook until nicely browned, stirring often. Add the water and sugar and cook for about 5 minutes or until crumbs have softened. Add the drained noodles and toss to coat well. Serve hot.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Answer 2

What you are looking for is a recipe for "haluskis", which is Slovak or Czech. It is like the traditional Swiss "spatzeli" but the mixture is made of fine shredded raw potatoes, eggs, dried "brindza" cheese (which I substitute with spicy feta cheese so it not so fat potent) and flour or corn starch for stability. What is confusing is your description of it. Haluskis have the same shape as spaetzel, but is a bit more on the soft side, because potato holds more water and if not boiled properly can even be a bit on the massy side. It also very possible you had some version of "Gnioki Parisiene" that are made with a mixture of "pate-a-Choux", grated Parmesan and mashed potatoes. They are "cut " from the pastry into boiling salty water on different chunk sizes pending on the cook's dexterity and choice of size.

I am from Poland and I have something similar in my country. They are potatoes (or you can use mash potatoes), flour, 1 egg, a little bit salt. You make cake, later you chop and boil in salty water. My English is not very good and i cant show good recipe but you can find "diamond-shaped potato dumplings" in cookbook. Good luck:)
