While I recognized the roast pork and the savoy cabbage, I’m pretty curious about the round mysterious object… Hmmm I would like to get a fork and taste it… How do you make it? ---

> [@Gffp](#): > > How do you make it? In my case, you buy a package of 6 in the supermarket, and boil as many as you need in salted water. Sorry to disappoint. My grandma would have started by boiling potatoes, passing them through a sieve, adding grated raw potatoes, forming balls and likely simmering them for an additional 15 minutes. If you’re truly curious, I guess I can dig out an actual recipe. That one looks like a decent Bavarian one: > **[Bayrische Kartoffelknödel - Halb und Halb - original & traditionell](https://www.bayerische-spezialitaeten.net/rezepte/kartoffelknoedel.php#zutaten)** > > Bayrische Kartoffelknödel: Hier finden sie das original Rezept für Halb und Halb Kartoffelknödel, die zur Hälfte aus rohen und gekochten Kartoffeln bestehen.

If you’re truly curious, I guess I can dig out an actual recipe. No hurry intended, but that would be nice, indeed. I love knödels (or Canederli, as the corresponding italian recipe is called), but you can’t find them in Italian supermarkets (except for Sudtiroler ones). There’s a tirolese deli in my town, but it is quite bothering going there just for some knödels EDIT: oh, you added it. Thanks ---

It’s my favourite, though I’ve nothing against Semmelknödel either. I loved the Semmelknödel my grandma used to make. They were a bit smaller and more brownish-yellow looking, but they tasted great. I don´t think I or anyone could ever reproduced that faithfully. ---

I’ve heard/read “Scheiterhaufen” somewhere, but I’ve never made or eaten it. But it’s not very uncommon. 🙂 ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > I don´t think I´ve ever heard of a “Scheiterhaufen” before. Me neither. Though in a way the recipe reminds me of Carthusian dumplings (which I actually made between Christmas and New Year, last year). ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/1/18f5bab82d06a3fe0664f64be9a08de77b2e915f.jpeg) Turned out pretty well, given I never prepared them before. Then again, I had not eaten those for like 20 years, so hard to judge whether they actually came close to those I remember of old. ---

I made a shepherd’s pie for the first time. I’ve been wanting to do this for years… ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/b/baf9f20e157be8fc3fda309f778890723d46fcc9.jpeg) Full disclosure: that is a store bought crust. That was the intimidating part, the rest of the recipe was pretty simple! 😋 ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > What goes in it? I love it, it’s one of my favorite dishes ever (but maybe I’m just an Anglophile). It’s basically ground beef/onions mixed with vegetables (peas and carrots) then a layer of mashed potatoes on top. Sometimes with sprinkled cheese on top of that. It’s kind of like cooking 2 dinners, then waiting an extra hour for it to bake… so probably better suited for cooking on a weekend rather than a workday. ---
