One of the items my mom cooked often, and I enjoyed very much, are Knedle, or Potato Balls. These are very quick to prepare, require few basic ingredients, and are very versatile for serving plain with butter and sauteed onions, with tomato sauce, or even filled with fruit and served as a sweet dish or dessert.
Here is another recipe for my vegetarian friends, and one I like preparing for my family on meatless days, especially during Lent. It requires only a few ingredients and is quick and simple to prepare unless you decide to make homemade pasta, which I did for this recipe (making your own pasta is much easier than you probably imagine). This recipe serves 4-6.
As you already read in my log, I am using a pressure cooker on regular basis, for cooking quick meals on a busy day. I will share a few of my favorite pressure cooker recipes. Here is one for Spareribs with Barbecue Sauce. My family likes this dish served with boiled, chunky potatoes, seasoned with sauteed onions, salt, and pepper to taste.
Most of us here in the US are used to preparing meatballs in tomato sauce, however, Eastern Europeans customized this dish to their own taste and ingredients.
If you are looking for an idea to use up your leftover mashed potatoes, whether it is white or sweet potatoes, gnocchi, or palushky, are your best bet.
With Thanksgiving coming up, you just might want to keep this recipe in mind, as for sure you will have some leftover potatoes to turn into a new dish.
