Pork-Stuffed Potato Dumplings (Klubb)
Klubb are a traditional Norwegian potato dumpling eaten during the holidays. These dumplings are stuffed with a piece of salty; whether it be ham, bacon, or a chunk of pork chop. Instead of making mashed potatoes, they are grated raw and mixed with egg and flour; expanding to almost double in size once boiled. They are then drizzled with copious amounts of butter. This is a win-win in my book.
Equipment
- box grater
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/4 lb cooked ham, slab bacon, or pork chop cooked; cubed
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes in a bowl. Mix in the flour, egg, and salt. Knead until it has a bread dough consistency.
- Roll the dough into 8-10 large dumplings.
- Stuff each dumpling with a chunk of pork of your choosing.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop each dumpling into the water with a slotted spoon and give them a stir so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and boil for 45 minutes.
- Drain the dumplings. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with melted butter. Top with chopped parsley.
