Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach potato dumpling
What is a spinach potato dumpling?
A spinach potato dumpling is a German-style dumpling made from potato and spinach, shaped into a ball and cooked in water. Recipes often use flour or starch to bind the mixture, and serve the dumplings as a side or meat-free main.
How do you make spinach potato dumplings?
To make spinach potato dumplings, combine cooked or grated potato with chopped spinach and enough flour or starch to form a moldable dough. Shape it into dumplings and cook gently in simmering water; some recipes use egg to help bind them.
How do you cook spinach potato dumplings without them falling apart?
Cook spinach potato dumplings in gently simmering water, not a vigorous boil. Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach and drain the potatoes well before mixing. Test one dumpling first; if it breaks up, work a little more flour or starch into the mixture.
What should you serve with spinach potato dumplings?
Serve spinach potato dumplings with sautéed mushrooms, browned onions, or roasted vegetables. They also work as a side for meat dishes, while a salad or a simple vegetable dish makes a good base for a vegetarian meal.
What sauce goes with spinach potato dumplings?
Butter with sage, creamy mushroom sauce, and tomato sauce all pair well with spinach potato dumplings. Keep the sauce light enough to let the spinach and potato come through, and spoon it over the dumplings just before serving.
Can you freeze spinach potato dumplings?
Yes, spinach potato dumplings can be frozen cooked. Let them cool completely, freeze them in a single layer so they do not stick together, then transfer them to a sealed container. Reheat from thawed in a pan or steamer.
Can spinach potato dumplings be pan-fried?
Yes, cooked spinach potato dumplings can be pan-fried. Slice or leave them whole and turn them in a lightly oiled pan until the outside is golden. Pan-frying raw dumplings is less reliable because the centers may not cook evenly.
How long do spinach potato dumplings last in the fridge?
Cooked spinach potato dumplings keep for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them promptly after serving, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat rather than repeatedly warming the whole batch.
Can you make spinach potato dumplings ahead of time?
Yes, you can shape spinach potato dumplings ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator for a short time before cooking. If the mixture releases moisture while it rests, gently work in a little more flour or starch before shaping again.
Can spinach potato dumplings be made with leftover mashed potatoes?
Yes, leftover mashed potatoes can be used for spinach potato dumplings, but they may make the dough softer, especially if the mash contains milk or butter. Add the spinach and binding flour gradually until the mixture holds its shape.

What is Spinach potato dumpling?
Spinach potato dumpling is a German-style potato dumpling made by mixing cooked, mashed potatoes with spinach and ingredients that bind the mixture, then shaping and boiling it. It is tender and mild, with a soft, slightly earthy centre. In German-speaking parts of Europe, potato dumplings are often served hot alongside roast meat or with a savoury sauce; they also make a filling vegetarian plate with vegetables or a simple salad. The potato gives them a mostly carbohydrate-based profile, while spinach adds some fibre: there are 2.6 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter serving, keep rich sauces modest and pair the dumpling with plenty of vegetables.
