Recipe for Potato Noodle stew/soup



usapol   Dec 15, 06, 20:04 /  #
Has any heard of a soup or stew that's made from potato noodles. It has fried bacon and onions in it. It an off white color and thick. My grandmother used to make it and I don't have a recipe for it or a clue how to make it.

??? The only potato noodles I know are "kopytka". It is made of mashed potatoes, flower and eggs. Rolled and cut into pieces that look like..well - little hoofs. Hence the name. I t maybe with bacon or onion, but not inside... well - maybe.
It can be with cheese inside, however.
Somewhat similar to Italian dish known as gnocci (I'm not sure of spelling), but most nice Italian Restaurants have it on the menu. Delicious!

She used to grate the potatoes and put flour & eggs?, salt peper and drop the mixture off a plate into a small amount of boiling water. Then she stired in the cooked bacon & onion. It would thicken up and be real thick. That's all I remember. I don't know if she squeezed the water out of the grated potatoes before she added the other ingredients or not. It was a long time ago since she made it for us and has since passed away. No one else in the family knows how to make it. My sister has cancer and says she has a taste for this but I don't know how to make it.

The above mixture of grated potatoes, flour and eggs, can have onion and bacon added inside and baked in the oven. It's called "babka ziemniaczana" or potato babka (kind of cake).
Yes, you squeeze the excess water.

Yummy! with cold milk! Yum!

My mom knows how to make what you are talking about. I'll be visiting her at the end of this month and will ask her for the recipe. We called it potato noodles and bacon. (Pretty creative, huh?)

The actual dumplings using only raw grated potatoes sound like pyzy, excpet those are boiled in salted water, removed with slotted spoon and served, often garnished with fried bacon and/or onion. But I've not heard of them being served in a sauce.

Don't ¶l±skie have to include potato starch, whilst pyzy do not? But probably there is no hard and fast rule, as Polish cooks like to experiment and have long been known to make do and improvise.
