The latest German import to my potato side dish collection are these soft, comforting dumplings drizzled in browned butter and topped with, sorry, not bacon, but something even better! Just try it to find out what it is. For best results, roast, don't boil, the potatoes so they're nice and dry. Yes, you can top these dumplings with bacon anyway, and/or sautéed onions and mushroom sauce. I served mine with sausage and red cabbage.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add bread cubes; cook and stir until golden brown and crunchy, 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and transfer bread to a bowl using a slotted spoon.

Reserve the browned butter in the pan.

Peel potatoes and place them in a large bowl.

Mash and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg.

Stir in eggs and mash until combined.
