Potato Klubb (Norwegian Potato Dumplings)

Potato Klubb (Norwegian Potato Dumplings)

This dish is a classic Norwegian main course, a tradition in our family. My grandmother consistently paired it with fresh peas. While the potato klubb are delicious on the first day, they become even more irresistible when sliced and fried until golden brown in butter on the second day. We particularly enjoy having them for breakfast alongside fried eggs.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 8 ounces cooked ham, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder, and pepper together in a bowl. Place the potatoes and onion in a large bowl and stir in the flour mixture until thoroughly blended. Use floured hands to knead the potato mixture in the bowl until it takes on the quality of stiff bread dough. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • Pinch off a tennis ball-sized piece of dough and shape it around a cube of ham, completely covering the ham, to form a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and ham cubes. Set aside any extra ham.
  • Fill a large pot with water, add 2 teaspoons salt and any extra ham, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide the balls into the boiling water, a few at a time. Loosen any sticking to the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate. Serve hot with melted butter.
