3-4 medium potatoes
2-3 bay leaves
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon (or less) salt |
1 1/4 cups water
2-3 cups milk
1 medium onion
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
| Peel and dice
potatoes. Place in large kettle; add bay leaves
and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil,
cooking until potatoes are soft, about 15
minutes. Meanwhile, mix flour, salt, and water to
form a soft dough. Knead slightly, adding more
flour as necessary to make dough manageable. Roll
dough out flat and cut knephlas with a pizza
cutter, or form ropes of dough about as thick as
your thumb, press flat, and snip off short pieces
with kitchen scissors. Once potatoes are cooked,
stir in knephlas; boil 5 minutes. You may need to
add more water. Knephlas should float when done.
Add milk and heat until warm. Fry chopped onion
in butter until golden brown; do not overcook.
Mix onions into warm soup; serve. Add salt and
pepper to taste. |
