Description
Bring the comforting flavors of a traditional Bavarian Sunday dinner to your table with Dr. Knoll Half-and-Half Potato Dumplings, known in Germany as Kartoffelknödel halb und halb. These tender, satisfying potato dumplings are a beloved accompaniment to roast pork, Sauerbraten, beef rouladen and hearty German gravies.
The term halb und halb (half and half) refers to the traditional combination of cooked and raw potatoes used to create a balanced dumpling texture—soft and fluffy, yet firm enough to hold together and absorb delicious sauces.
Dr. Knoll makes preparation especially convenient with six individually portioned dumplings in boil-in-bags. No peeling potatoes, grating, kneading or shaping is required. Simply prepare the dumplings according to the package directions, remove them from their cooking bags and serve with your favorite German meal.
