How to Make Austrian Meat Stuffed Dumplings G Hackknoedel

  1. Boil 2 lbs of potatoes in their skins until very tender (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Peel the potatoes while still warm and pass them through a food mill or potato ricer.
  3. Let the potato mixture cool until comfortably warm to the touch.
  4. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup semolina flour, 4 tablespoons butter (melted), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 large eggs + 2 large egg yolks. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Using a stand mixer or strong hands, knead the mixture into a smooth and elastic dough.
  6. Form the dough into a long log (about 2 inches in diameter), wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Cut the dough log into 12-15 equal rounds.
  8. Roll each round into a 4-inch diameter circle.
  9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  10. Place a spoonful of the meat filling (see below) in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
  11. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings float and are cooked through.
  12. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon.
  13. Serve immediately, drizzled with melted butter or your favorite gravy.
  14. **Meat Filling:** In a food processor or meat grinder, combine 1 lb cooked beef, 1/2 lb cooked pork, 4 oz cooked sausage (removed from casing), 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried marjoram. Pulse until well combined.
