About Coburg potato dumplings
Coburg's municipal recipe combines raw grated potatoes with cooked potato mash to make its regional dumplings. Starch recovered from pressing the raw potatoes is worked back into the mixture.
Potato and salt form the base. Pieces of bread roll toasted in butter are an optional filling, adding a rich centre within the soft potato dough.
The dumplings are shaped by hand and gently poached. The city account pairs them with roasts and also identifies boiled beef with horseradish sauce as a customary serving option.
