Powidltascherl - Sweet pastry with potato dough & Powidl like grandma used to make

Ingredients for approx. 4 portions

For the potato dough (potato dough):

• 500 g floury potatoes (preferably cooked the day before)

• 150 g plain flour (type 700 or 405)

• 1 egg (size M)

• 1 pinch of salt

• 20 g melted butter

For the filling:

• 150 g Powidl (plum jam, unsweetened)

• 1 tbsp plum brandy (optional)

For the breadcrumb mixture:

• 50 g butter

• 80 g breadcrumbs

• 20 g grated hazelnuts or poppy seeds

• 1 tbsp sugar

For sprinkling:

• Powdered sugar to taste

Preparation - step by step

1. 1. Prepare the potatoes:

      It is best to boil the potatoes the day before, then peel them and press them through a potato ricer while still warm. Leave to cool.

   2. Make the dough:

      Add the flour, egg, salt and melted butter to the pressed potatoes and knead quickly to form a dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, adjust with a little flour.

   3. Prepare the filling:

      Stir the Powidl with a dash of plum brandy until smooth.

   4. Forms:

      Roll out the dough to a thickness of approx. 0.5 cm on a floured surface. Cut out circles (approx. 8 cm in diameter), place some Powidl in the middle of each, fold together and press the edges well.

   5. Cooking:

      Bring lightly salted water to the boil in a large pan (do not boil!). Leave the pockets in the water for approx. 5-6 minutes until they float to the surface. Lift out and drain well.

   6. Roast the breadcrumbs:

      Melt the butter in a pan, add the breadcrumbs and nuts (or poppy seeds) and fry until golden brown. Season to taste with sugar.

   7. Finish:

      Roll the Powidltascherl in the breadcrumbs, arrange on plates and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
